Lightly toast the almonds, let them cool down. Wash the orange thoroughly, rub the peel, squeeze out the juice. Mix the flour with baking powder, sugar, vanilla sugar and a pinch of salt. Knead in the 4 eggs and 2 tablespoons of orange juice and the almonds.

Cut the dough into quarters, form a roll at a time, place it on a baking tray lined with baking paper, press down lightly. Do the same with the other dough quarters. Brush the rolls with the beaten egg yolk.

Bake the rolls in a preheated oven at 160 degrees for 20 minutes. Brush with the rest of the orange juice while still hot, cut into 1 cm thick slices and lay them out wide on baking sheets, bake for another 15-20 minutes. Let it cool down well and keep it airtight.
