Almond meal biscuits with photos

[achookwoman]

Uni, went shopping in this wonderful Italian grocery store in Melb today.  And there were your wonderful biscuits.  For morning tea we had a slice of heaven.  Bergamotto Cream Panettone.  Please , please tell me how to make one.   The shop people were very keen to know if it was moist enough and was the cream nice. Yes , yes.  Hope to hear from you soon, please.

Uni, I followed your directions as under:-

"Make small balls of about 3cm by rolling them between your palms, and then lightly roll them in the TM  icing sugar. "

That's a pretty small ball - the second lot were that size, the first lot were probably a 4 cm ball.  The smaller ones are the size of a 50 cent piece, the other size just a bit bigger.  Bite sized and delicious - crunchy on the outside and a little chewy on the inside.  I cooked them for an extra 10 minutes when I popped them back into the oven on a wire rack.

Bergamotto is an orange  not a lemon. About 18 years ago my DB was in Australia on holidays
He is very good cook, he wanted to make some brioche for us and needed a special oil to make them, we searched high and low for it,we  did not find it , and 18 years later i now know what he was on about
