description
A classic of Apulian dry pastries are the almond paste Dolcetti!
preparation
step 1
Chop the almonds together with the granulated sugar until you get a fairly refined grain.
step 2
Take a bowl, pour the chopped almonds with the sugar, add the whipped egg whites, the spoonful of honey and mix everything well so that the dough is firm and compact.
step 3
Now transfer the mixture to a pastry bag with a star nozzle and form the pastries on a baking tray lined with parchment paper.
step 4
Garnish each cake with a whole almond or a candied cherry or coffee beans and leave them to rest in the cool overnight or at least 10 hours before putting them in the oven, so that they dry and keep their shape.
step 5
After these hours, preheat the oven to 180 ° and bake the pastries for 10-12 minutes. Check the cooking by eye: the pastries must be just golden brown, they must not brown.
step 6
When they are ready, take them out of the oven and let them cool completely before serving them or put them in a closed container to keep them.
