Lightly dust a baking tray with flour. Sift the flour, baking powder, and salt into a bowl. Add the sugar, eggs, and orange zest and knead everything into a dough. Knead in the roasted, whole almonds. Form the dough into a ball, divide it in half, and shape each half into a 4cm thick log. Place this on the floured baking tray and bake in a preheated oven at 180°C for 10 minutes. Remove from the oven and let cool for 5 minutes. Using a serrated knife, cut both logs diagonally into 1cm thick slices. Arrange the slices on the baking tray and bake for a further 15 minutes, until lightly golden brown. Transfer to a wire rack until cool and crispy.
