550 G Sugar

5-6 Egg Whites ( 200 Ml)

Mix all ingredients together in a saucepan, heat up at a low heat while stirring all the time, until you have a paste. Leave to cool down completely.

Divide the paste into 3 lots, roll out into a sausage using a tiny bit of flour.

Divide each sausage into 10 units.

Roll each into a ball and roll out about 7-8 cm Long and place on a baking tray with baking paper.

Form them to a triangle shape with your fingers, if they stick, dip your fingers in a little water now and again.

Preheat oven to 180°C.

Bake about 9 min at 180°C

Let them cool down completely and decorate with Royal Icing.

Decorating with Royal Icing.

Royal Icing for decoration.

180 G Pure Icing Sugar

1 Egg White

Method:

Thoroughly sieve pure icing sugar.

Gradually add icing sugar to the egg white beating with a wooden spoon, you may need a bit more icing sugar depending of the size of the egg white.

The mixture should be stiff enough to stand in peaks and have a smooth appearance. When mixed cover with a damp cloth to prevent a hard crust forming.

Make a small piping bag out of a piece of baking paper, add Royal Icing, close the bag and cut a little hole in the bag.

550 G Sugar

6-7 Egg Whites ( 250 ML)

Mix all ingredients together in a saucepan, heat up at a low heat while stirring all the time, until you have a paste.

When cold enough to handle, add the mixture to a piping bag with a medium size star nozzle, do not let the mixture get too cold, then it will be harder to pipe out.

Pipe out small rosettes or shells on baking paper, decorate with half a glazed cherry or nuts to your liking.

Preheat oven to 180°C.

Bake about 6-8 min (depending on size) at 180°C

Let the Almond Allsorts cool down completely.
