Recipe
Why not try making these impressive amaretti biscuits. They are gluten free and easy to make. Makes 15-20 biscuits.
Ingredients:
180g Tropical Wholefoods Fairtrade Apricot Kernels
120g caster sugar
Grated zest of 1 lemon
½ tsp almond extract
1 pinch salt
2 egg whites
1 tbsp honey
50g flakes almonds
Icing sugar
Method:
1. Preheat oven to 160°C/325°F/gas mark 3.
2. Grind the Tropical Wholefoods Fairtrade Apricot Kernels in an electric grinder to a powder.
3. In a bowl, mix together the ground kernels, caster sugar, lemon zest, almond extract and salt. Rub everything together with your fingertips too disperse the zest and extract evenly.
4. Whisk the egg whites and honey until firm peaks form. With a large metal spoon, gently fold the meringue into the apricot kernel and sugar mix to get a soft, malleable paste.
5. With your hands, roll the paste into 20g rounds. Flatten them a little, roll in a plate of flaked almonds to cover, then roll in plenty of icing sugar.
6. Put on a baking tray lined with greaseproof paper and bake for 14 to 18 minutes. They should turn a very light golden colour, but stay relatively pale and chewy in the centre. Leave to cool completely before storing in a sealed jar or tin.
