Almond Biscuits

I wanted to make biscuits, to accompany coconut panacotta, to give some texture to the dessert and this recipe courtesy of Kitchn is perfect and dead easy.

227 g ground almonds
½ tsp baking powder
½ tsp vanilla powder
100 g maple syrup

Makes 16

Heat the oven to 170º.   Line a baking tray with parchment paper.   Put the almonds and baking powder into a bowl and mix well.   Add the maple syrup and vanilla powder and combine, until the mixture comes together and forms a rough dough.

Roll the mixture into equal sized balls and place on the baking tray, then flatten gently with your palm, to make a biscuit shape.

Bake for 12-15 mins, until crisp and golden,  making sure they do not burn, remove from the oven, allow to cool for 5 mins and then put on a cooling wire to cool completely.
