Step by step recipe

Stage 1 - 2 min.

Preheat the oven to 390°F (200°C).

Put 1 egg and ½ cup caster sugar into a large bowl and mix.

Stage 2 - 2 min.

Add 2 cups ground almonds and mix again. This should give you a fairly thick paste.

Weigh out pieces of about 1 oz (30 g), roll into balls and arrange on a sheet of cooking parchment (or a silicon mat, as shown in the photo), laid on a baking sheet.

Stage 4

Pinch each ball between your fingers twice, at right angles, to give a pyramid shape.

Dip your fingers in cold water if the mixture begins to stick.

Stage 5 - 4 min.

Make all the pyramids like this.

Stage 6 - 20 min.

Bake for about 20 minutes.

Stage 7

Leave to cool on a wire rack.

Remarks

Depending on the size of your egg, you might need to adjust the quantity of ground almonds.

Keeping

A few days in an air-tight jar or tin.
