| How To Cook: |

|
1. Whisk egg whites stiffly.
|
2. Stir in the ground almonds (the Viennese use unblanched almonds) and sugar.
|
3. Turn on to a board or table top dusted with icing sugar.
|
4. Knead lightly and roll out to the thickness of a wafer.
|
5. Cut into strips, about 1 inch by 3-4 inches.
|
6. Coat the top of each strip with royal icing.
|
7. This is most easily done by using a forcing bag fitted with a ¼-inch plain vegetable pipe.
|
8. Line a baking tin with a sheet of silicone paper.
|
9. Put the strips on this and dry them out in a cool oven (200°F) for about 2 hours.
