Not just an almond biscuit recipe, but an amaretto biscuit recipe, prepared with both almonds and amaretto liqueur. It's love at first bite when you taste these rich, delicate biscuits.
Perfect tea party recipe. In fact, these are what a great tea accompaniment is all about... small and delicious. But don't wait for a party to indulge yourself.
Makes 6 - 7 dozen biscuits
You may think a lot, but they will be gone in no time.
Ingredients
1 cup butter
1 cup sugar
1 egg
1/4 cup almond liqueur (Amaretto di Saronno)
1 cup finely ground almonds
3 cups flour
1 teaspoon salt
Cream together the butter, sugar, and egg. Beat until light and fluffy. Stir in the liqueur and almonds.
Mix the flour and salt and gradually add these to the creamed mixture.
Form the dough into (2) 10-inch logs. Cover and refrigerate for 2 to 3 hours.
Cut the logs into 1/4" slices and bake in a 350° oven until lightly browned, about 10 minutes.
Makes 6 to 7 dozen petite biscuits.
