Step by step recipe

Stage 1 - ⌛ 3 min.

Weigh out 100 g ground almonds and 100 g icing sugar. Pastry cooks call this proportion "equal parts".

Stage 2 - ⌛ 2 min.

Put this mixture into a food-mixer bowl and add 1 tablespoon Brandy (Cognac or Armagnac).

Stage 3 - ⌛ 1 min.

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.

Stage 4 - ⌛ 3 min.

Flatten the Armagnac marzipan into a "cake" and wrap with plastic film. Keep in the fridge until needsd.

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.

Keeping: Several weeks in the fridge.

Source: Home made.

How to cook caramelized puff pastry well

When puff pastry is caramelized to use in patisseries like millefeuille, French chefs call it a "feuilletage" (which means "lamination" or "leafing"). This is baked on its own before being assembled with cream, fruit, etc. The baking needs to be carefully managed: the pastry should puff into layers, but not swell too much (just a few millimeters normally). To achieve this, we need to follow a special method that I have explained for you here.
