Today's recipe is perfect for a cooking session with the little ones in the house. Its low degree of difficulty and the grateful results make it the perfect recipe for a family Christmas activity. Today's recipe is for marzipan. Let's get to work!
Ingredients
The ingredients we need to make this recipe are only 3, well, 4....
- 100g Ground almonds
- 50gr Sugar
- 1 egg
And love and care! This way, the recipes always turn out better.
Preparation
First of all, we must separate the yolk from the white of the egg, so that we can use both parts. Once this is done, just follow three simple steps to have the dough ready...
- In a bowl mix the ground almonds with the sugarwhich shall be in powder form.
- Once well mixed add half a beaten egg white and continue mixing, until it starts to take on some consistency.
- Make a dough ball with handsCover with cling film and leave to set for about two hours. Like the one in the picture... What? No one said it had to be a perfect sphere 😉.
After the two hours of rest... it's time to get creative! Adults find this a little more difficult, but it is the children's favourite subject, so they will have a great time in this last phase. A zoo? A school? Fruit? With this dough you can making figurines Let your imagination run wild!
When we have the figurines ready, we just need to paint them with the egg yolk that we had previously separated and put them in the oven at 200 degrees for about 8 minutes, or until you can see that they are acquiring a golden colour. And... that's it, I told you it was simple! Now we have some delicious marzipan to enjoy at any time, or just for Christmas, don't you think?
Are you up for it? We hope so, and we can't wait to see the results. You know that we love recipes and even more if you show them to us, so you know....
