Instructions
- Grind the eggs with sugar until a stable foam forms.
- Chop the almonds and spices. Gradually add flour and spices to the eggs. Add lemon zest, orange and almonds.
- Knead the dough. Leave the dough to infuse overnight (I had enough patience for 4 hours). Bake at 180 g for 20-25 minutes. If desired, you can cover with chocolate glaze. More to my taste, I had more without glaze. The aroma during baking lured children out of the rooms. Very fragrant pastries! In the original, this is a cake, but for me it is more familiar in the form of cookies. It turns out very tasty and fragrant.
