Treacle Amaretti

Instructions

1. 1

   Preheat the oven to 180°C (350°F) and line a baking tray with parchment paper.

2. 2

   In a medium bowl, sift together almond flour, confectioner's sugar, baking soda, and salt.

   Tip: Sift the dry ingredients to remove any lumps.

3. 3

   In a large bowl, whip the eggs until they become light and fluffy.

   Tip: Use a stand mixer or a whisk to whip the eggs.

4. 4

   Gradually add the granulated sugar to the eggs and whip until well combined.

   Tip: Be careful not to add too much sugar at once.

5. 5

   Add the treacle, vanilla extract, and food colouring to the egg mixture and whip until combined.

   Tip: Start with a small amount of treacle and add more to taste.

6. 6

   Add the sifted almond flour mixture to the egg mixture and fold until well combined.

   Tip: Be careful not to overmix the batter.

7. 7

   Transfer the batter to a piping bag fitted with a large round tip.

   Tip: Pipe the batter into small circles, about 1cm in diameter.

8. 8

   Tap the baking tray gently on the counter to remove any air bubbles.

   Tip: This will help the amaretti cook evenly.

9. 9

   Bake the amaretti for 15-20 minutes, or until they are firm to the touch.

   Tip: Check the amaretti after 15 minutes and remove them from the oven if they are not yet firm.

10. 10

    Allow the amaretti to cool completely on the baking tray.

    Tip: This will help them retain their shape.
