We all know that the best recipes are the ones written by hand and given to us by the special people in our lives, so we are very honoured to have been allowed to share our Home Care client, Anna’s Amaretti recipe. The Home Care Team have been lucky enough to experience these and they come highly recommended!

Ingredients

4 eggs at room temperature

2 cups sugar

2 cups orange juice

1 cup vegetable oil

2 tsp almond extract

6 cups plain flour

10 tsp baking powder

1 ½ cups sliced almonds

3 cups icing sugar

Method

Preheat the oven to 180°C.

Beat the eggs and sugar together, add the orange juice, oil and almond extract.

Sift together some of the flour and baking powder and add to the wet ingredients. Mix well. Add the rest of the flour and then fold in the almonds.

Drop tablespoons of the dough onto icing sugar in the palm of your hands. Form a ball and put on the tray with baking paper.

Bake for 12-15 minutes and cool.

Anna’s daughter, Sonia, tells us they can be stored and frozen for up to a month but they look delicious and having some left to freeze seems very optimistic.

Thank you Anna and Sonia for sharing your recipe.
