Makes about 25, they keep in airtight container for about a week and you can freeze them from up to 3 months.
3 Cups (375gms) almond meal
1 Cup (250gms) caster sugar
3 drops almond essence (I tend to put a little bit more, but it's generally to your taste)
3 egg whites lightly beaten
1 cup (80gms) flaked almonds
1. Prehead oven to moderate
2. Combine almond meal, sugar and essence in large bowl. Add egg white, stir until mixture forms a firm paste.
3. Roll level tablespoons of the mixture into the flaked almonds, roll into 8cm logs. Press on any remaining almonds. Shape logs to form crescents. Place onto baking paper lined oven trays.
4. Bake in moderate oven about 15 minutes or until browned lightly. Cool on trays.
