The other day I was heading over to my friend Eliane’s house to take some photos of her gorgeous wee newborn Monica who was only 10 days old, and I suddenly thought, I must take some home baking.
Realising that they are on a dairy free diet I was panicking though, thinking, what on earth shall I make? so I sifted through my recipes and found a gluten free recipe that my mum makes every time she visits us, that has no dairy in it – so dairy free and gluten free, bonus! and I happened to have ground almonds in the pantry, double bonus!
So after deciding I was going to some effort to bake something I decided I better post it on the blog too… then I decided to go a step further and dress up these delicious bikkies..
Ground Almond Biscuits
- 1 1/4 cups icing sugar
- 1 egg
- grated rind of 1 lemon
- 1 tsp, vanilla essence
- 210g ground almonds (3 x 70g pkts)
- Whisk together icing sugar and egg until well combined.
- Add lemon rind and vanilla essence.
- Add the ground almonds and mix well.
- On a surface dusted with icing sugar, knead the mixture together.
- Shape the mixture into balls and place on a baking tray, and press with a fork or cookie stamp to flatten, then dust with a little icing sugar.
- Bake at 170c for approx. 15mins.
