Honey Cantuccini

Instructions

1. 1

   Preheat the oven to 180°C (350°F). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.

2. 2

   In a medium bowl, whisk together the almond flour, granulated sugar, baking powder, and salt.

3. 3

   In a separate bowl, whisk together the melted butter, honey, and egg whites until well combined.

   Tip: Use a stand mixer for best results.

4. 4

   Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients and mix until a dough forms.

   Tip: Be careful not to overmix.

5. 5

   Wrap the dough in plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes.

   Tip: This will help the cantuccini retain their shape.

6. 6

   Roll out the dough to a thickness of 3mm (1/8 inch). Cut into cantuccini shapes using a cookie cutter.

   Tip: Use a sharp knife or cookie cutter for clean edges.

7. 7

   Place the cantuccini on the prepared baking sheet and bake for 15-20 minutes, or until golden brown.

   Tip: Rotate the baking sheet halfway through the baking time.

8. 8

   Allow the cantuccini to cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely.

   Tip: This will help prevent breakage.

9. 9

   Serve the cantuccini with a side of mascarpone cheese and fresh mint leaves.

   Tip: Optional: drizzle with additional honey for extra sweetness.
