Ingredients

  • INGREDIENTS
  • 1-7 oz box Odense Almond Paste, grated 1 cup sugar 2 sticks salted butter, room temp. 2 egg yolks 2 & 1/2 cups all-purpose flour 1 teaspoon baking powder

Preparation

Step 1

1. Preheat oven to 350° F.
2. Grease the baking dish.
3. Add grated Almond Paste, sugar and butter to a mixing bowl. Mix on low speed until combined. Increase speed to high and beat for three minutes, scraping down bottom and sides of bowl.
4. Add egg yolks, one at a time, beating well between each yolk. Beat on high speed for three minutes, until light in color and texture.
5. Sift together the flour and baking powder. Add to batter. Mix on low speed, until just incorporated.Do not over-mix!
6. Lightly press the dough into the greased baking dish, using a sheet of wax paper to help smooth the surface.
7. Score the surface with a knife in the size squares that you wish. This makes for easier cutting later on.
8. Bake 22-26 minutes or until lightly golden.
9. Cool pan on wire rack. Don't cut until cool.
10. Store in an airtight container.
