I have friends who don't like marzipan that will eat this! Perhaps because the natural taste of almonds is more mellow than the intense flavour of almond essence. Naturally, if you do want the strong marzipan taste, then a few drops of essence will go along way :-)
Ingredients
4oz ground almonds
3oz icing sugar
3oz sugar
1 egg, beaten
1 tsp lemon juice
Method
Mix together the sifted icing sugar, ground almonds, sugar and lemon.
Add enough beaten egg to make a stiff paste. Add almond essence if you require a stronger taste. If you are using it to make sweets its also fun to add a few drops of colour.
