LEMON & ALMOND SLICES



Lemon & Almond Slices image

These gluten free slices of zesty lemon goodness really are hard to resist. They're light, tangy and the perfect accompaniment to a nice cup of tea. To make the lemon topping you'll need to use a brand of coconut milk that doesn't contain emulsifiers (guar gum, carrageenan, methyl cellulose, corn starch, sodium or potassium metabisulfate) as these are chemical additives which cause the fatty and watery layers to stop separating from one another, so you won't be able to achieve the thick creamy consistency required.

Steps:

  • Place the cashews in a bowl of boiling water and leave to rest for 1 hour. Preheat the oven to 170C/340F. Place the ground almonds and coconut sugar in a large bowl and mix well. Add in the maple syrup and melted coconut oil and stir until a dough is formed. You should be able to roll the mixture into a ball, if you find the mixture too dry or crumbly add a little bit more coconut oil. Line a baking tray with parchment paper and place the dough inside it, pressing it firmly until you have an even layer spread across the bottom of the tray (We used a small glass to roll it out evenly). Bake in the oven for 15-20 minutes until it starts to brown, then remove from the oven and set aside to cool slightly. Drain the water from the cashews and place in a blender with the coconut cream (the hardened cream from the top of a can of coconut milk), honey, lemon zest, lemon juice and arrowroot starch. Pulse until fully combined. Taste the mixture, it should taste really creamy and with a tangy lemon flavour. If you need to add more lemon juice, add it now. Place the mixture on top of the almond base and put back in the oven for a further 15 minutes. Leave out to cool for 15 minutes, then refrigerate for at least 4 hours before serving. Top with lemon slices, chopped nuts, pumpkin seeds and lemon zest to serve. Leave out to cool for 15 minutes, then refrigerate for at least 4 hours before serving.

BUTTERY ALMOND COOKIES



Buttery Almond Cookies image

Made with high-fat, cultured butter, these melt-in-your-mouth almond cookies are like the most tender shortbread you've ever eaten. A simple confectioners' sugar icing and a sliced almond topping make them especially pretty, but you can skip the garnish for something sleeker and simpler. Or use them to make sandwich cookies, filling them with the likes of lemon curd, raspberry jam or melted chocolate.

Categories     cookies and bars, dessert

Time 1h

Yield About 4 dozen cookies

Number Of Ingredients 15

1 1/2 cups/190 grams all-purpose flour, plus more for rolling the dough
1/3 cup/38 grams almond flour
1/4 cup/30 grams cornstarch
1/2 teaspoon baking powder
1/4 teaspoon fine sea salt
1 cup/227 grams salted cultured butter, at room temperature (see Tip)
2/3 cup/130 grams granulated sugar
1 large egg yolk
1/4 teaspoon almond extract
1 cup confectioners' sugar
1/4 cup/56 grams salted cultured butter, melted
1 to 2 tablespoons buttermilk or whole milk, plus more as needed
1/4 teaspoon vanilla extract
1/8 teaspoon almond extract
Toasted sliced almonds, for topping

Steps:

  • In a large bowl, stir together flours, cornstarch, baking powder and salt.
  • In an electric mixer fitted with the paddle attachment, beat together butter and granulated sugar until lightened in color and fluffy, 3 to 4 minutes. Beat in egg yolk and almond extract until combined, about 20 seconds. With the mixer running on low, add flour mixture, beating until just incorporated. Do not overmix.
  • Divide dough into two balls. On a floured surface, roll each ball into a 1 1/2-inch-thick log. (If the dough is too soft to work with, chill it for 20 to 30 minutes before forming it into logs.) Wrap logs tightly in parchment paper or plastic wrap, and refrigerate until very firm, at least 2 hours or overnight.
  • When you are ready to bake the cookies, heat oven to 325 degrees. Line 2 baking sheets with parchment.
  • Use large, sharp knife to cut each log into 1/4-inch-thick rounds. Place cookies 1 inch apart on prepared baking sheets.
  • Bake until cookie edges and bottoms are golden brown, about 15 to 22 minutes. Cool 5 minutes on baking sheets, then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely.
  • Make the icing: In a large bowl, whisk together confectioners' sugar, melted butter, 1 tablespoon buttermilk, vanilla and almond extracts. If the icing isn't thin enough to drizzle, add more buttermilk. It should be a little thicker than heavy cream.
  • Using a fork, drizzle icing all over the cooled cookies, then top with almond slices if you like. Let the icing set for at least 1 hour, then store at room temperature in an airtight container. The cookies will keep for at least 3 days.

Tips:

  • Use fresh lemons for the best flavor. If you don't have fresh lemons, you can use bottled lemon juice, but the flavor will be less intense.
  • To get the most out of your almonds, toast them before using them. This will bring out their flavor and make them more crunchy.
  • If you don't have almond flour, you can make your own by grinding almonds in a food processor until they are fine.
  • Be careful not to overmix the batter. Overmixing will make the cookies tough.
  • Bake the cookies until they are just set. Overbaking will make them dry.
  • Let the cookies cool completely before serving. This will allow them to firm up and develop their full flavor.

Conclusion:

Lemon and almond slices are a delicious and easy-to-make treat. They are perfect for any occasion, from a casual snack to a formal party. With their bright lemon flavor and crunchy almond texture, these cookies are sure to be a hit with everyone who tries them.
