Egg yolk for brushing (omitted)

Method

1. Sift together flour and icing sugar, add in ground almond and diced almonds, mix well.
2. Mix (1) and corn oil together to form a soft dough. (the dough will come together when you roll them so don't worry about it being crumbly)
3. Shape into small round balls and place into small paper casing and press it slightly.
4. Bake in a preheated oven at 170°C for 15-20mins or until slightly brown.
5. Cool completely on wire rack before storing into airtight containers.
