If you like to try different flavours, sweet and savoury, follow my social profiles to not miss any posts. See also the recipes already published in the tag “Savouring the world”. If you don't like to experiment, I recommend that you follow the posts anyway. Many recipes from other countries have similarities to dishes from your country, and you may find that something with a different name has a familiar flavour. The two recipes I posted before this one are examples. In Brazil, there are dishes with flavours similar to theirs. Possibly also in other countries.

Ingredients:

400 g of ground almonds

200 g of powdered sugar

Zest of 1 lemon

1 egg + 2 yolks

Vanilla extract

Icing:

3 egg whites

3 tablespoons of lemon juice

2 tablespoons of orange blossom water

3 tablespoons of milk

2 tablespoons of oil

powdered sugar

PREPARATION:

In a large bowl, combine the ground almonds, icing sugar, lemon zest and vanilla extract. Then add the eggs until you get a homogeneous and manageable mixture.

On the floured work surface, roll out the dough, maintaining a thickness of about 1.5 cm, and make circles of 4 cm in diameter.

On a baking sheet, spread some greased baking paper and lay the circles of dough on it.  Cook for 15 min at 160 ° C.

Leave to cool on the grill. Meanwhile, prepare the icing.

In a bowl, pour all the ingredients listed for the icing and mix with a spoon until the mixture is smooth.

When the mkhabez have cooled, cover with the icing and set aside to dry the icing.

Decorate them according to your taste!
