There's a recipe for almond fork biscuits in it and OH has only gone and put it in the recycling - which went on Friday :eek:

Now I've got a load of flaked almonds to use up and no biscuit recipe. Any help much appreciated.

Got mine out of our recycling which hasn't gone yet!

Ingredients (Makes 16 biscuits)
100g butter, softened
50g caster sugar
a few drops of almond extract
150g self-raising flour
25g flaked almonds

Method
Pre-heat the oven to 180C/350F/Gas 4
Measure the butter into a bowl and beat with a wooden spoon. Gradually beat in the sugar and almond extract and then mix in the flour. Bring the mixture together with your hands to form a dough, adding a little water if required. Form the dough into balls about the size of a walnut and place well apart on the prepared baking trays. Dip a fork in a little water and use this to flatten the biscuits. Sprinkle flaked almonds on top.

Bake in the pre-heated oven for about 15-20 minutes until very pale golden. Lift off the baking tray and leave to cool completely on a wire rack.

Picture makes the biscuits look really yummy, shame we are a nut-free house! Happy baking.

I made these at school and my favourite flavouring was lemon - just add some lemon zest and replace the almond essence with lemon juice (you may need a little extra to taste) and instead of dipping the fork in water, dip it in the lemon juice that's left over. They are yummy, and nut free!
