tender and crumbly – not just at Christmas time
Lightly toast the almonds in a non-stick pan and let cool. Cream the softened butter with the powdered sugar and the scraped seeds from ½ a vanilla pod, or butter and vanilla extract, or vanilla sugar until fluffy. Add the flour and mix well. Then fold in the cooled almonds. Using two teaspoons, scoop out small heaps and place them on a baking sheet lined with baking paper, leaving some space between them, as the dough will spread slightly due to the high butter content. Bake at 180 degrees Celsius (350 degrees Fahrenheit) for about 20 minutes. Dust with powdered sugar before serving. This quantity makes about 40 almonds.
