Nut pastes / marizpan almond paste

1 servings

Ingredients

Quantity Ingredient
1½ cup blanched; (skinless) whole almonds
1½ cup powdered sugar; sifted
1.00 egg white
1.00 teaspoon almond extract

Directions

In the work bowl of your food processor grind almonds until very fine. Do this in small batches if necessary. In a large bowl, using a fork, beat the egg white until it loosens up. Then add the almond extract, almonds and sugar. Work into a stiff paste, using your hands if it is easier for you. This almond paste can be used as a base for cookies, or to flavor butter creams. It can be combined with butter and used as a filling for cookies or cakes. It can be rolled into small balls, or dipped into chocolate and eaten as candy. Place in an air tight container and refrigerate until ready to use. This recipe yields 1 pound of paste.
