List of Ingredients




Serving Size : 24

DOUGH
6 oz Unsalted butter
4 oz Sugar
4 oz Ground blanched almonds
8 oz Unbleached all-purpose flour

FINISHING
1 Egg -- beaten
Blanched sliced almonds
12 oz Apricot or raspberry jam
2 oz Water
Confectioners' sugar


Recipe



PREHEAT OVEN TO 325F. Beat the butter until light and soft, then beat in the sugar. Continue beating until very light. Stir in the almonds, then the flour. Scrape dough onto a piece of plastic wrap, flatten and wrap. Chill until firm, about 1 hour. Flour dough and surface very lightly and roll dough 1/4-inch thick. Cut into 3-to-4-inch rounds with a fluted cutter. Transfer to paper-lined pans and cut a 1-inch opening in half the rounds with a plain cutter. Paint the cut rounds with beaten egg and strew with the sliced almonds. Bake the bases about 15 minutes, keeping them very pale. Cool the bases. Combine the jam and water and bring to a boil over medium heat, stirring occasionally. Strain into another pan and simmer the glaze until sticky. Sift confectioners' sugar over the almond-coated bases. Paint the others with the glaze and adhere the sugared bases to them. Fill in the openings with more glaze.
