Ingredients:
- for the pastry
- malta honey and pistachio nuts or additional almonds
- for the almond paste
- 2-3 egg whites
- a few drops orange flower water
- to finish
- small easter eggs
Directions:
- Make the pastry by mixing the sugar with the flour, then rubbing in the butter until the mixture resembles fine crumbs.
- Add the grated lemon rind and the yolks, mixed with a little water to make a pliable dough.
- Leave to chill.
- Add the sugar, orange flower water and lemon rind to the ground almonds, and bind with the egg whites.
- Roll out the pastry and cut out your shapes.
- Make two of each figure as they will be sandwiched with almond paste.
- Lay the first shape on a greased and floured baking tray, spread with almond paste, leaving a small margin.
- Lay the second shape over the top and press the edges together.
- It helps if you wet the edges with a pastry brush to ensure adhesion.
- Bake at 200'C/400'F/gas 6 for 5 minutes, then at 180'C/350'F/gas 4, for about 20 minutes, until pale golden.
- Cool on the tray.
- When cold, coat with glacé icing, then decorate with royal icing in a different colour, but nothing too gaudy.
- While the icing is soft, press a small, foil-wrapped Easter egg in the middle of each shape.
