Marzipan Recipe

A classic Marzipan recipe.

Estimated Prep Time: 10 minutes

Ingredients

(Click an ingredient to learn about it.)

1 cup Almonds (ground)

1/4 cup Icing Sugar

1/4 cup Sugar

1/2 teaspoon Lemon Juice

2 drops Almond Extract

1 Egg (beaten)

Directions

Beat the egg; set aside.

In a food processor, whiz together the ground almonds, icing sugar, and sugar. Add the lemon juice and almond extract. Whiz again for a few seconds. Add just enough of the egg to make a firm paste -- no more (you will likely have leftover egg.) Remove, and knead a bit with your hands until smooth, then use at once, or wrap in plastic wrap and store in fridge and use up within 4 days.

Comments

1 cup of ground almonds is 4 oz / 115g.
