This recipe is for those of you who wish to make your own almond paste. I prefer making my own. When I feel lazy, I purchase it in specialty stores. Rose water can be purchased in Middle Eastern stores, or maybe even health food stores.
INGREDIENTS (for 1 servings):
- 1 pound blanched almonds
- 1 (16 ounce) package confectioners' sugar
- 3 egg whites
- 1 teaspoon almond extract
PREPARATION:
Grind almonds in a blender. Thoroughly mix in confectioners sugar. Beat egg whites slightly, then stir into the almond mixture. Add almond extract, using your hands to blend the heavy mixture.
