25g Doves Farm Organic Pasta Flour
½ tsp baking powder
200g ground almonds
2 egg whites
pinch of Doves Farm Vitamin C
1 tsp vanilla extract
icing sugar to dust
oil, for tray

Pre-heat the oven.
Rub some oil around the inside of a large baking tray.
Measure the icing sugar, flour and baking powder into a bowl, stir to combine and sieve it into another bowl.
Stir in the ground almonds.
Sprinkle some icing sugar onto a plate for dusting later.
Put the egg whites and vitamin C into another bowl and beat until stiff.
Beat in the vanilla.
Tip a quarter of the flour and almond mixture into the egg white and cut and fold it in using a metal spoon, taking care not to overmix.
Cut and fold the remaining flour and almond mixture in 3 batches to make a soft paste.
Take teaspoons of the paste and drop them onto the prepared icing sugar plate.
Roll each into a ball in the icing sugar and transfer them to the prepared baking tray.
Bake for 12-15 minutes.
Allow the cookies to cool on the tray.
Store the cold cookies in a tin.

These biscuits are lovely, but even better if you use almond extract instead of vanilla extract. I’m going to try and make them vegan using aquafaba instead of egg whites next time.
