London Almond
 
 
Serves: 80pcs
Ingredients
  • 125g unsalted butter, softened
  • 60g icing sugar
  • 1 egg yolk
  • 200g plain flour
  • 25g rice flour
  • 25g nestum
  • 200g toasted whole almonds (toasting is optional)
  • 100g chopped almond nuts
  • 400g dark chocolate (for coating
Instructions
  1. Sift the plain flour and rice flour into a medium sized bowl. Add in nestum. Set aside.
  2. Cream the butter and sugar at medium speed (I use the K beater) until it turns pale and fluffy.
  3. Add the egg yolk, and mix until just combined.
  4. Add the sifted flour mixture in two parts, mixing well after each addition. You should now have a cohesive dough.
  5. Take a small piece of dough (6g each) and flatten it slightly. Wrap the dough around the almond, then form it into a cylinder. Alternatively, you may prefer to form it into a round ball.
  6. Place the wrapped almond on a baking tray lined with baking paper.
  7. Repeat with the remaining dough and almonds, until all the dough is used up. You may end up with some extra almonds, you can either snack on these or chop them up to use as a topping.
  8. Bake in a 175’C preheated oven for 15-18 minutes, until slightly golden. Cool the baked cookies on a wire rack. Once cooled, place each cookie in a small paper case.
  9. Melt the chocolate in a double boiler or microwave (30 seconds for 2-3 times)
  10. Using a teaspoon, spoon the melted chocolate over each cookie. Try to ensure the chocolate goes up to the edges of the paper cases, as it makes for a prettier cookie.
  11. Sprinkle the tops of each cookie with chopped nuts. If the chocolate takes a long time to set, put in the fridge for 10 minutes or so.
