4 ounces ground almonds
4 ounces castor sugar (super-fine)
A few drops of pure almond essence

Preheat the oven to 450°F.

Grease and flour a baking sheet.

Mix together the almonds and sugar, then add the
almond flavoring.

Mix to a palpable paste by adding the egg yolks. Do
not handle too much to prevent the mixture from
becoming oily.

Hearts, rings, chicks, etc.

Bake for five minutes or until just turning brown around
the edges.
