Almond Paste
A LITTLE INDULGENCE!
These sweets, also known as "almond pastries" or "Sicilian pastries," are characterized by their finely ground almond base, sugar, and egg white.
Sicily is famous for the quality of its almonds, and this top-notch ingredient gives the almond pastries a unique and irresistible flavor. They have a soft and slightly compact texture, while the intense almond taste perfectly blends with the sweetness of the sugar.
Almond pastries are available in a variety of shapes and sizes, from the classic rectangle to spheres, hearts, and other imaginative creations. Each pastry is often decorated with a carving or a touch of powdered sugar, making them not only delicious but also visually appealing.
The recipe for almond pastries is a well-guarded secret of Sicilian pastry shops, but the common base includes peeled and ground almonds, powdered sugar, egg whites, and flavors such as vanilla or orange. The dough is worked until it reaches a homogeneous consistency, then shaped into the desired forms and baked until golden brown.
They are perfect to enjoy with a cup of coffee or tea, but they are equally delightful to savor on their own as a little indulgence.
