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.

Bake for 10 minutes.

Remarks

Lime zest works very well, too.

Keeping:

A few days in an airtight tin.

Other recipes you may also like

Usually to make fruit jellies or (fruit "paste"), it's like jam but you need to cook fruit pulp and sugar much longer. Unfortunately, this long cooking is bad for both vitamins and flavour. In this recipe we use a special jam gelling agent, to reduce cooking time as much as possible .
