- 400 g almond(s), peeled, ground
- 280 g sugar
- 2 packets of vanilla sugar

- 5 egg yolks
- some salt
- some lemon zest
- 1 tsp cinnamon, or a little more
- n. B. Pine nuts, approx. 35 pieces, or lemon glaze
Instructions
Working time approx. 30 minutes; Rest time approx. 1 hour; Cooking/baking time approx. 20 minutes; Total time approx. 1 hour 50 minutes
Almond biscuits, good for egg yolk utilization
Knead all ingredients (except pine nuts or lemon glaze) into a smooth dough and chill the dough ball, wrapped in foil, for one hour. Shape walnut-sized pieces of dough into balls and place them on a baking sheet (lined with baking paper or greased). Press a pine nut into each ball. Better (but it’s a matter of taste): Make a small indentation in each ball, mix lemon juice with powdered sugar until smooth, and after baking (approx. 15-20 minutes at 160°C top/bottom heat – golden yellow), brush directly onto the still-hot pastry. Brush again after 15 minutes of cooling. Once completely cooled, transfer to a tin. Makes about 35 pieces.
