## Ingredients

- 2 egg whites
- 250 g caster sugar
- 250 g almond flour
- 0.5 a lemon lemon zest
- 1 pinch salt
- 0.5 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 2 tablespoons lemon juice
- 30 unpeeled almonds
- 3 tablespoons icing sugar
- 3 tablespoons caster sugar

## Instructions

1. Add the whites of two eggs to a large bowl.
2. Add a pinch of flaky sea salt.
3. Beat the egg whites until nice and thick.
4. Add the sugar.

6. Add half a teaspoon of vanilla extract.
7. Grate the lemon zest.
8. Mix the dough with your hands, making sure to incorporate all the sugar and flour.
9. Get a little bit of dough into your hands and try to understand the consistency of the dough; it should feel sticky, tacky, but it should stay all together.
10. Cut the lemon and use a little bit of the juice.
11. With the spatula, give it a final mix.
12. Shape the dough into little walnut-sized balls.
13. Drop the amaretti dough into the caster sugar and roll them in.
14. Then, roll them straight in the icing sugar.
15. Shape them again before putting them into a tray and remove the excess of the sugar.
16. On top of each one, press a little almond straight in until the dough starts cracking around.
17. Bake them in the oven at 170 degrees Celsius for about 15 minutes.
18. As soon as they come out from the oven, let them cool down for at least 5 and 10 minutes.
