Ingredientes
- 4½ cups all−purpose flour
- 1−1/2 cups caster sugar
- 3 teaspoons baking powder
- ½ teaspoon of salt
- 4 eggs
- 2 egg yolks
- 8 oz. chopped almonds (unblanched)
- 2 more egg yolks
Preparação
- Keep a little milk around to use in the glaze.
- Preheat the oven to 450 F. Mix the flour, the sugar, the baking
- powder, the salt, the whole eggs and the yolk all together. When the dough
- is smooth, knead the almonds into it. Divide the dough into 8 parts and make
- each into a cigar−shape. Flour a baking sheet and place the logs on it,
- giving them each some room, and slide into preheated oven. Bake for 20
- minutes, or until they're a nice gold color. While the logs are still warm,
- cut them into 1 inch thick slices and then cook them for another five
- minutes. Let them get cool before serving. (Hint: You don't have to eat them
- all at once. Cantucci stay good for a pretty long time if you keep them in a
- nice, airtight container.)
