• 250g flour
• 125g lard or soft butter
• 100g icing sugar, plus more for dusting
• 50g ground almonds
• 1 tsp cinnamon
• a pinch of salt

👩‍🍳 Method

1. Toast the flour in a dry pan over low heat for 10 min, stirring, until it smells nutty. Cool it completely.
2. Rub the fat into the toasted flour, sugar, almonds, cinnamon and salt until it clumps.
3. Press the dough together — it will feel dry and crumbly, which is correct.
4. Roll to 2cm thick and cut rounds. Handle them as little as possible.
5. Bake at 170°C for 18 min. They will look barely coloured.
6. Cool completely before moving them or they collapse. Dust heavily. They are meant to disintegrate on the first bite.
