INGREDIENTS:

  • 3 cups finely ground almond flour
  • 1 1/2 cups icing (powdered) sugar
  • 2 teaspoons almond extract
  • 1 teaspoon quality rose water
  • 1/4 cup egg whites

DIRECTIONS:

  1. Blend sugar and almonds in a food processor. Add the almond extract and rosewater. Mix again. Add egg whites and mix until the mixture comes together.
  2. Roll into a roll about 5 inches (15 cm) long. Roll tightly with a plastic bag and store in the fridge, or for later use in the freezer.
    Note: If the mass is too soft, add a little more ground almonds. It does harden as it cools.
