Ingredients
 

  • 500 g Flour
  • 1 Egg
  • 250 g Butter or margarine
  • 175 g Sugar
  • 1 packet Baking powder
  • 2 packet Almonds, roasted and coarsely ground
  • White chocolate
  • Desiccated coconut

Instructions
 

  • Prepare: Roast the almonds briefly in a pan or in the oven on all sides, cool, roughly grind in a blender and leave to cool on a plate.
  • Preheat the oven to 180 degrees (convection 160 degrees) and line 2 baking sheets with baking paper.
  • Mix the butter or margarine with the sugar and egg until creamy. Mix the flour with the baking powder and the almonds and knead into the egg-butter mixture. If the dough is still sticky, add a little flour.
  • Now form small balls out of the mass and distribute them on the baking sheets with a little space between them.
  • Bake the balls in the preheated oven for about 20-25 minutes, remove them and let them cool.
  • Melt the couverture over a water bath and place the desiccated coconut on a plate.
  • First dip the balls in white chocolate and coat the balls with it and then roll them into the desiccated coconut. Let dry on a piece of baking paper.
  • Store the dried balls in an airtight container.
  • You can also roll the balls in ground, roasted almonds instead of in coconut.
  • Tip 10: If you like, you can mix in a little cocoa under the pastry dough. Also tastes very, very tasty or you can try ground hazelnuts instead of almonds. It's up to you 🙂
