Introducing My First Cookbook: "Authentic Italian" which You can order it Now on Amazon and Selected Bookstores👉 vincenzosplate.com/authentic-italian-cookbook
==========================================
INGREDIENTS:
500g/ 17.6oz Almond Meal
300g/ 10.5oz Caster sugar
5 Egg whites, Use free range eggs that are room temperature
2 Tsp of Vanilla Extract
Bowl of icing sugar, plus extra for dusting
METHOD:
1) Separate 5 egg whites from the yolk into a medium mixing bowl.
2) Mix the almond meal and caster sugar together in a separate bowl until the sugar seems to disappear.
3) Whisk the egg whites using a hand whisk or electric mixer. Once lots of bubbles form on the surface, add a small amount of icing sugar and whisk gently again until the mixture starts to resemble a meringue. Add 2 tsp of vanilla extract and continue whisking until combined.
4) Pour the egg white mixture into the bowl with the dry ingredients and mix through using a large spoon.
5) Once this has all started to bind, use your hands to combine everything even more and make sure that everything mixes really well together, still keeping it all inside the large bowl.
6) Wet your hands before shaping the amaretti biscuits. Using a teaspoon, scoop up a heaped amount of the mixture and roll it between the palms of your hands to form a ball. Gently place the ball into a bowl of icing sugar. Continue forming the balls and placing them into the icing sugar until the bowl is almost full.
7) Gently shake the bowl so the icing sugar coats the amaretti balls evenly. Roll each ball around until completely covered in icing sugar, then carefully place them onto a baking tray.
8) Line up the balls on the tray, making sure they are not too close together.
9) Once the tray is full and there is enough space between each biscuit, gently flatten each ball with the palm of your hand. This will create small cracks on the surface and give your amaretti biscotti their classic appearance.
10) Bake in a fan-forced oven at 180°C (356°F) for 15 minutes.
11) Check the amaretti after 12 minutes. If they are already golden, remove them from the oven. If not, continue baking for another 2-3 minutes.
HOW TO SERVE:
Leave the amaretti to cool for at least 5 minutes before removing them from the tray. If desired, dust them with a little more icing sugar. Then enjoy them while still slightly warm with a cup of tea, coffee, or hot cocoa!
