Amaretti Leggieri Almond Cakes Recipe

Ingredients: Almonds (sweet and bitter), eggs, castor sugar.



Blanch equal quantities of sweet and bitter almonds, and dry them a

little in the oven, then pound them in a mortar, and add nearly double

their quantity of castor sugar. Mix with the white of an egg well beaten

up into a snow, and shape into little balls about the size of a pigeon's

egg. Put them on a piece of stout white paper, and bake them in a very

slow oven. They should be very light and delicate in flavour.
