Macaroons (Amaretti)

by CakezVintage/Classic Recipe

These are the ingredients you will need:

Granulated sugar, nine ounces.


Sweet almonds, three and a half ounces.


Bitter almonds, half of the above quantity.


Whites of egg, two.

Directions:

Skin and dry the almonds, then chop them very fine. Mix the sugar and the whites of egg and stir for about half an hour, then add the almonds to form a rather hard paste.

Of this make little balls, as large as a small walnut. If the paste is too soft add a little butter, if too hard add a little white of egg, this time beaten. Were it desired to give the macaroons a brownish color, mix with the paste a little burnt sugar.

As you form the little ball, that you will flatten to the thickness of one third of an inch, put them over wafers or on pieces of paper or in a baking tin greased with butter and sprinkled with half flour and half powdered sugar. Dispose them at a certain distance from one another as they will enlarge and swell, remaining empty inside.

Bake in an oven moderately hot.

Curly Tart

by CakezVintage Cake Recipe / Vintage/Classic Recipe

Ingredients:

Sweet almonds with a few bitter ones, four ounces,


Granulated sugar, six ounces,


Candied fruits or angelica, 2½ ounces,


Butter, two ounces,


Lemon peel.

Directions:

Mix two eggs with flour, flatten the paste to a thin sheet on a bread board and cut into thin noodles.

In a corner of the bread board make a heap of the almonds with the sugar, the candied fruit cut in pieces and the grated lemon peel. All this cut and crush so as to reduce the mixture in little pieces.

Then take a pie-dish and without greasing it, spread a layer of noodles on the bottom, then pour part of the mixture, then another layer of noodles and continue until there remains no more material, trying to have the tart at least one inch thick.

When it is so prepared cover with the melted butter, using a brush to apply it evenly.
