Ingredients

  • Cashews250g
  • Icing Sugar100g
  • Egg Yolk2
  • Orange blossom water2 tablespoons
  • Almonds100g
  • Icing SugarTo Glaze

Instructions

  1. Preheat the Oven

    1 min

    Set your oven to 180°C (Gas Mark 4) to ensure it reaches the correct temperature for baking. While the oven heats up, prepare your baking tray by lining it with parchment paper to prevent sticking.

  2. Mix Cashews and Ingredients

    5 min

    In a large mixing bowl, combine 250g of cashew nuts and 100g of icing sugar. Add 2 egg yolks along with 2 tablespoons of orange blossom water and stir the mixture thoroughly until it transforms into a smooth and cohesive paste, which should be slightly sticky.

  3. Form Biscuit Balls

    8 min

    Scoop out portions of the cashew mixture and roll them into small balls, about the size of a walnut. Once shaped, roll each ball in additional icing sugar to create a sweet, snowy coating, and arrange them on the prepared baking tray, leaving space between each for expansion.

  4. Add Almonds to Biscuits

    2 min

    Gently press an almond into the center of each ball, ensuring it is partially embedded. This not only adds flavor but also gives a decorative touch to your biscuits.

  5. Bake the Biscuits

    30 min

    Place the tray in the preheated oven and bake for approximately 20 minutes. Keep an eye on them, looking for a lightly golden color, to ensure they do not burn.
