Cantucci alle mandorle
Ingredients
10 whole eggs
2 1/2 lbs. sugar (1,250 Kg)
2 3/4 lbs. unbleached all-purpose flour ( 1 kg 100 gr)
1 tbsp. baking powder (5 gr)
1/2 tsp vanilla extract (3 drops)
1 1/2 lbs. Almonds (750 gr)
Directions
- Place all the dry ingredients in a KitchenAid and Combine well. Add the eggs and blend. The resulting dough will be sticky….but that’s the way. Transfer the dough to a floured board.
- Using a spatula, add the raw almonds and with floured hands form a log. Shape the log using parchment paper
- Place the logs onto baking sheets lined with parchment paper and bake for 10 minutes at 350F. (180 C) Make sure they are about 2 inches apart.
- Take them out of the oven and let them cool for 5 minutes, then using a serrate knife cut them diagonally. Re bake for another 5 minutes one each side, until golden and crisp
