Almond Paste Or Marzipan Recipe
Ingredients
8 oz. ground almonds
2 egg yolks
2 tsp. lemon juice
8 oz. icing sugar or 4 oz. icing sugar and caster sugar
Few drops almond essence
1/4 tsp. rosewater 4 oz.
Directions
Mix the almonds and sugar together.
Add the beaten eggs and the flavouring and mix and knead very thoroughly.
To cover a cake, turn upside down and brush over with melted jelly or a thick sugar-and water syrup to make the paste stick.
Roll a piece of paste into a circle the size of the top of the cake and roll strips for the sides.
Leave overnight to set before covering with white icing.
