Step by step recipe

• 1: 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.
• 2: Knead until thoroughly mixed.
• 3: Gather the dough and pat into a flat "cake". Wrap in plastic film.
  Refrigerate for at least 1 hour or overnight.
• 4: Preheat the oven to 360°F (180°C).
  Roll out the dough about 1/2 cm (1/4 inch) thick.
• 5: Cut out small circles...
• 6: ... and arrange on a baking sheet. NB: As the dough is very fragile, a palette knife will make lifting the biscuits easier.
• 7: Bake for 10 minutes.

Remarks

Lime zest works very well, too.
