I couldn't find a good recipe for lemon almonds, so i came up with this one. Its basically modified from an orange almond recipe I found online. You could probably easily substitute oranges in this recipe, i just haven't tried that yet. I suppose you could also swap out the nuts if you wanted, which is what I'm trying next! I love lemons and i love almonds, so I think these are delicious and addictive! Ingredients:
1 egg white |
1 lemon, juice of |
3/4 cup sifted powdered sugar |
1 1/2 teaspoons grated lemon rind |
1 dash ground nutmeg |
1 1/2 cups whole blanched almonds, toasted |
Directions:
1. In a large bowl, beat the egg white and lemon juice, combine with almonds, and set aside.
2. Combine the remaining ingredients (sugar, lemon rind, & nutmeg) in a small bowl, and mix into almond mixture.
3. Spread onto a greased baking sheet and bake at 300 degrees for 20 minutes or until coating is dry and almonds are crisp; stir almonds occasionally.
4. Once cooled, store in airtight tins or in a zip-loc bag in your lunch bag :-).
