15g flaked almonds
1 medium egg
115g caster sugar
1/2 teaspoon of baking powder
50g ground almonds
115g semolina
1/4 teaspoon of almond extract
Line one large, or two small baking trays with grease proof paper. Preheat oven to 200c or gas mark 6.
Whisk the egg and caster sugar until the mixture is thick and creamy. Sift in the baking powder and stir in ground almonds, semolina and almond extract.
With wet hands roll the mixture into 16 balls (no bigger than a walnut). Stick a few of the flaked almonds on top of each ball and bake for 8-10 minutes until risen and pale golden.
Leave to cool and transfer to wire rack.
Enjoy!!
