Hard to pronounce, easy to eat

Ingredients:

• 75g almonds
• 250g AP Flour
• 200g softened butter
• 175g sugar
• 1 egg
• 3 tsp vanilla extract or 1 vanilla bean

This comes together super easy…until the piping.

Use a food processor to grind up your almonds to a flour-type consistency. Don’t use almond flour here. You want the flavor.

Mix everything together. You should get a soft, but thick dough. Now, here’s where I went off the rails. It’s worth mentioning I was mostly down a hand because I broke up a dog scuffle and had a decent bite or two on my hand so probably wasn’t the best idea to try and squeeze this thick ass dough… Alas, earwax.

Anywho, you’re supposed to use a large star nozzle and pipe out rings. Apparently if you have a meat grinder.. you can use that to make your ropes and go from there…that should tell you how THICC this dough is. A meat grinder.

Once you’ve formed what you’re gonna form, bake at 400F for 6 minutes or until light brown.

Mine came out ugly as sin, but were so damn tasty. I’ll have to play around with the recipe to figure out the best extraction in the future..who knows, maybe I’ll break out the meat grinder.
