Ingredients

• 300 g flour
• 150 g soft unsalted butter
• 150 g sugar (half white, half brown)
• 1 egg
• grated lemon peel
• 2 amaretti or digestives
• 60 almands finely minced
• salt

METHOD


Preheat the oven to 190°


1. Sift the flour and make the fountain, put in the center the sugar, egg, the minced almonds, the lemon peel and a pinch of salt; melt these ingredients very well till you get a smooth paste. Leave it for 30' covered with greaseproof paper. If you are in a hurry put it in freezer for 10 minutes. 
2. After this time take the paste and work it few minutes to make it soft again (if necessary add a pinch of flour). Put the paste on a baking-pan, already covered with butter and flour (or if u prefer with greaseproof paper ), crumble over the 2 buiscuits, spread your favourite marmelade and garnish as you like with the left paste. 3. Cook it for about 50 minutes.
