Start mixing and add the egg white a little at a time until the dough clumps into a ball (this only takes a few seconds).
Stop the mixer immediately so as not to overheat the marzipan.

Remarks
Feel free to adjust the quantity of Armagnac to suit your taste, either more or less.
You can vary this recipe by using another favourite alcohol from your own "cellar". It is worth noting that, traditionally, any marzipan that is not plain is left uncoloured.
