- 125g powdered sugar
- 15g high gluten flour
- 25g low gluten flour
- 50g butter, melted
- 3 egg whites
- 150g almond slices
Directions

- In a separate small bowl, separate the egg white from the folk.
- Add egg whites and melted butter to the flour/sugar mix.
- Stir in almond slices gently into the batter with a rubber spatula.
- On a large rectangular baking sheet, lined with either a non-stick silicone mat or greased foil (foil greased with butter, oil or Pam)
- Spread the batter onto the baking sheet – make sure it is a thin layer and that the almond slices don’t all stack on top of each other.
- Bake at 300F for about 20-30 minutes, checking half way, until golden brown.
- Cut into square pieces of desirable size. Best to use a pizza cutter, or you can use a knife or break with your fingers.
