## Ingredients

- 2 egg whites
- 1 pinch flaky sea salt
- 250 g caster sugar
- 250 g ground almond
- 0.5 tsp vanilla extract
- 0.5 a lemon lemon zest
- 2 tbsp lemon juice
- 30 unpeeled almonds
- 3 tbsp icing sugar
- 3 tbsp caster sugar

## Instructions

1. In a large bowl, add the whites of two eggs.
2. Add a pinch of flaky sea salt.
3. Beat the egg whites until nice and fit.
4. Add the sugar, the ground almond, and half a teaspoon of vanilla extract.
5. Grate the lemon zest.
6. Mix with your hands to make sure all of the sugar and flour are caught.
7. Check the consistency of the dough; it should feel sticky, tacky, but stay together.
8. Add a little bit of lemon juice.
9. Give it a final mix with a spatula.
10. Shape the dough into little walnut-sized balls.
11. Drop the amaretti dough into the caster sugar and roll them in.
12. Then, roll them straight in the icing sugar.
13. Shape them again before putting them into a tray to remove the excess sugar.
14. On top of each one, press a little almond straight in until the dough starts cracking around.
15. Bake them in the oven at 170° Celsius for about 15 minutes.
16. As soon as they come out from the oven, let them cool down for at least 5 to 10 minutes.
