How it's done

Almonds

Spread the almonds on a tray.

To roast in the oven

Approx. 5 mins. in the centre of an oven preheated to 200°C. Remove, allow the almonds to cool slightly.

Dough

Place the margarine in a bowl, beat in the sugar, almond milk, orange zest and salt. Combine the flour and baking powder, add to the mixture along with the almonds, mix together to form a soft dough.

To shape

Halve the dough. On a floured surface, shape into 2 rolls (each approx. 3 cm in diameter). Place the rolls on a baking tray lined with baking paper, making sure they are well spaced out. Flatten slightly. Brush the rolls with almond milk, sprinkle with sugar.
