Ingredients:
300g icing sugar
400g ground almonds
3 egg whites
2 tsp cinnamon
Method:
Beat the egg white until firm
Add 250g of icing sugar and stir until it is shining
Take 1/3 of the egg white & sugar mix and keep it aside covered with a slightly damp towel
Add the almonds and cinnamon to the remaining egg white & sugar mixture
Cover your surface with icing sugar and roll out the dough to about 0.5cm thickness
Cut out the stars and reuse the dough until it gets to soft
Cover each star with a layer of egg white & sugar mixture
Bake the stars at 120◦C/ 250◦F for about 20min on the lowest possible rack. The egg white & sugar layer should stay white. Let it cool completely and store in an airtight container.
