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
