Instructions

  1. Preheat the oven to 170 °C and line a tray with baking paper.
  2. Blend the almonds with the sugar until you have a fine powder, without turning it into a paste.
  3. In a bowl, whisk the egg whites with the pinch of salt until firm peaks form.
  4. Gently fold in the almond powder, flour, lemon zest and almond extract, lifting the mixture as you go.
  5. Drop small spoonfuls of dough onto the tray, spacing them well apart, then place a whole almond in the centre of each.
  6. Bake for 12 to 15 minutes, until the edges are golden but the centre stays soft.
  7. Let cool on a wire rack before serving.

Variations and tips

Festive version. Once cooled, dip the bases of the biscuits in melted dark chocolate.

Using what's easy to find. Shop-bought ground almonds can replace the blended whole almonds; reduce the sugar slightly.
