Ingredients
- 200 grams Almond flour
- 150 grams Granulated sugar
- 3 large Egg whites
- 1 teaspoon Almond extract
- 0.5 teaspoon Vanilla extract
- 50 grams Powdered sugar
Directions
Step 1
Preheat the oven to 160°C (320°F) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
Step 2
In a large bowl, combine almond flour and granulated sugar, mixing well to ensure there are no lumps.
Step 3
In a separate bowl, beat the egg whites with an electric mixer on medium speed until soft peaks form.
Step 4
Gradually fold the almond flour mixture into the egg whites using a spatula. Be gentle to maintain the airy texture of the batter.
Step 5
Add the almond extract and vanilla extract to the mixture, and then gently mix until fully incorporated.
Step 6
Fill a piping bag with the batter. If you don't have a piping bag, you can use a spoon.
Step 7
Pipe or spoon small mounds of batter, about 1 inch apart, onto the prepared baking sheet.
Step 8
Lightly sprinkle powdered sugar over the top of each mound for a crackled appearance.
Step 9
Bake in the preheated oven for about 25-30 minutes, or until the edges are firm and golden.
Step 10
Remove from the oven and let the biscuits cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
Step 11
Enjoy your low-sodium version of classic Amaretti biscuits with a cup of coffee or tea.
