Fanid

Instructions

1. Work the softened butter with the icing sugar until creamy, then beat in the egg and the orange blossom water.
2. Gradually add the flour and gently knead until you have a smooth dough, without overworking it.
3. Make the filling by mixing the ground almonds, icing sugar and orange blossom water until you have a pliable paste.
4. Roll out the dough thinly, cut out circles, place a small ball of filling in the centre, then fold into half-moons.
5. Arrange the fanids on a tray lined with baking paper, brush with egg yolk and decorate with a whole almond.
6. Bake at 170 °C for 15 minutes, until just golden. Let them cool before serving.
