Almond Horns

Almond Horns

Ingredients

  • Ingredients
  • 8 ounces almond paste
  • 1 cup granulated sugar
  • 2 large egg whites
  • 1 ¼ cups sliced almond lightly crushed

Instructions

  • Preheat oven to 375° F.
  • Cover two sheet pans with parchment paper and spread out almonds over one of the sheet pans.
  • In a food processor, combine almond paste and sugar until well blended and almond paste is broken down.
  • Add the egg whites and process until a wet dough forms.
  • Spoon the dough into a pastry bag fitted with a large, plain, round tip.
  • Pipe four to six inch long cylinders of dough on top of the crushed almonds on the reserved sheet pan.
  • Gently roll the dough in the almonds, coating them completely. Transfer each one to the clean large sheet pan, bending each so it creates a horn shape.
  • There will not be room to put them all on one sheet pan, so place the remaining horns back onto the nut covered sheet pan. The horns should be spaced 2 inches apart.
  • Bake for approximately 12-15 minutes, or until nice and brown. Allow to cool.

Notes
