Ingredients#

  • 300 g almonds
  • 500 g whole wheat flour
  • 350 g sugar
  • 4 eggs for whole wheat flour (3 for white flour)
  • flavoring (orange blossom water, vanilla, or orange zest)
  • Add water as needed

Directions#

  • Toast the almonds.
  • Mix the flour and sugar, eggs, and flavoring.
  • Add water as needed to get a cohesive but dense dough.
  • Add the almonds and shape into small logs.
  • This preparation freezes very well (to bake later)
  • Roll them out and bake on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper in the oven at 180°C (350°F) for about 15 minutes.
  • Place 1 bowl of water in the oven.
  • Stop baking when golden and cut into thin slices as soon as they come out of the oven.
  • Wait for them to cool and enjoy! They are excellent warm and delicious when nice and crunchy.

Note for a vegan version: replace the eggs with 1/4 cup of applesauce or see other options
