Step by step recipe

Stage 1 - 5 min.

Put into a food-processor bowl: 170 g flour, 60 g ground almonds, 80 g icing sugar, 150 g butter, 1 egg, 1 pinch fine (or table) salt and the zest of 1 lemon.

Stage 2 - 3 min.

Knead until thoroughly mixed.

Stage 3 - 1 hour

Gather the dough and pat into a flat "cake". Wrap in plastic film.

Refrigerate for at least 1 hour or overnight.

Stage 4 - 5 min.

Preheat the oven to 360°F (180°C).

Roll out the dough about 1/2 cm (1/4 inch) thick.

Stage 5 - 7 min.

Cut out small circles...

Stage 6 - 3 min.

... and arrange on a baking sheet. NB: As the dough is very fragile, a palette knife will make lifting the biscuits easier.

Stage 7 - 10 min.

Bake for 10 minutes.

Remarks

Lime zest works very well, too.
