Cantucci

Ingredients

300gr plain flour
250gr almonds with the skin
3 eggs
4gr baking powder
250gr sugar
pinch of salt

Process

Turn on the oven at 175C.
Mix the flour with the raising agent and form a well. Add the sugar, the salt, then crack the eggs and add finally the almonds (you can mix them up with other nuts, like hazelnuts, if you love them).
Mix gently with a spatula, then flour your hands and make the dough into small loaves.
Place the loaves in two baking trays lined with baking paper, give at least 5cm distance between the loaves.
Bake them  for 15 minutes, then let them cool down and cut them diagonally in 1,5cm slices.
Put them back in the oven for 5 minutes, or until golden brown. They will be crunchy when cooled down, but the day after will be perfect.
