Almond Kisses
Ingredients:
Makes
20 kisses
- 250
grs of sugar ;
- 125
grs of almonds ;
- 6
egg yolks ;
- 1
egg white
Preparation:
Peel
the almonds and crush them until they are reduced to a paste.
Cover the sugar with water, stir in order to dissolve it and boil for
a few minutes until it forms a slightly thick, unbroken string when
dripped from a spoon.
Add the almonds, stir on a moderate flame until the mixture is smooth
and then take off the stove.
When it is lukewarm, fold in the egg yolks previously beaten together
with the wine. Put it on a low flame once again, stirring constantly
until the mixture becomes dry.
Take it off the stove again and, when lukewarm, mould little balls
with your fingers greased with melted butter. Place the balls in a
buttered shallow pan, and bake in a hot oven until they become slightly
brown.
When they cool off, place them in fluted paper forms.
