Makes 20
175 g (6 oz) Self Raising Flour
A pinch of salt
75 g (3 oz) caster sugar (coconut sugar also works well)
50 g (2 oz) ground almonds
100 g (4 oz) Soy Spread
No more than 1/2 teaspoon of almond essence
Blanched almonds (decoration)
NOTE: If you use coconut oil, you're in for a challenge. The dough will be crumbly and will just ooze oil :(
- Heat oven to 170ºC, 338ºF, Gas Mark 4. Grease two baking trays (baking parchment works better).
- Mix together the dry ingredients, rub in the margarine and essence.
- Bring together using your hands.
- Roll out thinly and cut into rounds.
- Place half a blanched almond on each.
- Place on a baking tray (leave an inch between) and bake for 10 minutes.
- You can sprinkle a little caster sugar over them fresh out of the oven to make them a little sweeter.
