Preparation: 15 minutes

Baking: 20 minutes

Ingredients:

3 free-range egg whites
300 g almonds, ground
150 g caster sugar
1 tsp orange zest
¼ tsp Himalayan salt
100 g almond flakes

Preparation:

Step 1

Preheat oven to 170°C. Line a baking tray with baking paper.

Step 2

Soak the orange in a baking soda solution for 15 minutes, then rinse and dry. Grate the zest and set aside.

Step 3

Whisk the egg whites with the salt until firm. Gradually add the sugar, whisking constantly, until you have a glossy and firm mixture. Stir in almonds and orange zest. The mixture should be thick and sticky.

Step 4

Place the almond flakes into a bowl.

Step 5

Take a tablespoon of the mixture and shape it into a ball with your hands. Press the ball into the almond flakes and place it on the baking tray. Continue until you have used up all the mixture.

Step 6

Place the baking tray in the oven and bake for 20 minutes, or until lightly browned. Remove from the oven and let it cool.

Serving suggestions:

Serve sprinkled with powdered sugar and cinnamon.
Serve sprinkled with powdered sugar and cacao.

Tips:

Add more almonds for a thicker mixture. Roll out the dough and cut it out with a heart-shaped baking mould for a romantic version. Brush the biscuits with beaten egg white and press them into the almond flakes.
Pack the biscuits in a cellophane bag and tie with a red ribbon.
Store leftover biscuits in an airtight container and keep at room temperature for up to 10 days.
Freeze leftover biscuits in an airtight container for up to 3 months.
