Ingredients
-
225g butter, softened
-
100g caster sugar
-
1 egg
-
1 teaspoon almond extract
-
375g plain flour
-
1/4 teaspoon salt
-
3 eggs, beaten
-
100g caster sugar
-
150g finely chopped almonds
Preparation method
- Preheat the oven to 180 C / Gas mark 4.
- In a medium bowl, cream together the butter and 100g caster sugar until smooth. Stir in 1 egg and almond extract. Combine the salt and flour; stir into the sugar mixture with your hands until a smooth dough forms. Roll dough into log shaped pieces about 1cm thick and 5 to 7cm long. Dip each piece in the beaten eggs, then in remaining caster sugar and then roll them in almonds. Place them 2 to 3cm apart onto ungreased baking trays.
- Bake for 8 to 10 minutes in the preheated oven. Allow biscuits to cool on baking tray for 5 minutes before removing to a wire rack to cool completely.
