1 tablespoon plain flour
1 tablespoon cornflour
1 tsp ground cinnamon
2/3 cup caster sugar
1 lemon rind, grated
2 egg whites
1 cup ground almonds
1/4 cup icing sugar
a few drops almond essence
Line a 32 x28 cm biscuit tray with baking paper.
Sift flour, cornflour, cinnamon and half the sugar into a large bowl;
add lemon rind
Place the egg whites in small, dry mixing bowl. Using electric beaters, beat egg whites until firm picks form.
Add reserved 1/3 cup sugar gradually, beating constantly until the mixture is thick and glossy and all the sugar has dissolved.
Fold egg whites mixture into dry ingredients.
Stir until ingredients are just combined and mixture forms a soft dough.
Roll 2 level tsp on mixture at a time with oiled or wetted hands into a ball.
Arrange on prepared tray, allowing room for spreading.
Set tray aside, uncovered for 1 h before baking
Heat oven to moderate 180C
Sift icing sugar liberally over the biscuits.
Bake for 15-20 min or until crisp and lightly browned.
Transfer biscuits to wire rack to cool
Biscuits may be stored in airtight container for up to 2 days.
Variation: Use orange rind in place of lemon rind, if prefered
Hints: The biscuits have chewy texture. They are perfect served with coffee or as an accompaniment with a special ice-cream or mousse for dessert.
Amaretti biscuits may be crumbled over stewed fruit or used whole as a base for trifle
