- 4
Ingredients
- 200 g ground almonds
- 200 g icing sugar
- 2 egg whites
- 1 capful almond extract (equivalent to a few drops)
Steps
- Put 2 egg whites in a small bowl and beat them lightly.
- Measure out the icing sugar and ground almonds. Sift or mix them well to remove any lumps.
- Put the icing sugar and ground almonds in a bowl and mix well.
- Add about 2/3 of the beaten egg white to the dry mixture.
- Mix to form a firm, pliable dough.
- If the mixture is too dry, carefully add a little more egg white, a small amount at a time.
- You may not need all the egg white. Stop when the marzipan reaches the consistency you want.
- Knead briefly into a smooth ball or log.
- Wrap in cling film and leave to rest overnight in the fridge before using.
