Two-bite Almond Buns

Two-bite Almond Buns - that taste a bit like macaroons

1. Buy some ready made marzipan.

2. Sieve 170g flour, some salt and ½ tsp baking powder. Rub in  85g margarine/butter. Mix in 70g sugar and create a paste with one egg. Add another egg if necessary and add more flour if it is too sticky. 

3. Roll the paste into balls. 

4.Roll a small 1cm cube of marzipan into a ball using the palms of the hands. t

5. Wrap a flattened ball of paste around the marzipan ball and seal it in. Repeat…..

NB too much marzipan will seep out of the buns like volcanic lava!

6. Roll the balls in ground almonds or brush with beaten egg and sprinkle with almond flakes.

7. Place on greaseproof paper. Bake in a hot oven for 15 minutes.
