1 cup ground almonds
1¼ cups granulated sugar
2 egg whites
2 tablespoons icing sugar
Mix the ground almonds and granulated sugar together. Blend the egg whites in, a little at a time. The batter should have the consistency of a soft dough. Cover a large baking sheet with aluminium foil. Butter and flour it lightly. Place the batter into a pastry bag and squeeze onto the foil in rounds about the size of a small walnut. Leave about 3 cm between the amaretti. Sprinkle with icing sugar and bake for about 20 minutes until golden. Remove, cool and store in an airtight container
