Calculation basis

Item weights and household measures are estimated. Unless specified: milk with 1.5% fat, cream with 30% fat and Gouda cheese. Optional ingredients, small amounts of seasoning and separately listed side dishes are excluded. For imprecise entries, the amounts below and comparable reference products are assumed. For alternatives, the first listed ingredient is used. Cooking losses have not been measured.

Calculated estimate using the reference foods below. Substitute products, item weights and consumed fractions are assumptions. Ordinary cooking oil and marinades are counted in full; frying oil, coatings, bones and whole roasts use the stated factors. The higher serving count is used for ranges. Actual product values and cooking losses have not been measured.

Ingredients

  • 300 g flour
  • 150 g almonds
  • 150 g butter
  • 120 g powdered sugar
  • 1 tsp cinnamon

Instructions

  1. Place a thin layer of flour and ground almonds on a tray. Roast lightly at 150 °C top/bottom heat for about 15 minutes, turning once, and allow to cool completely.
  2. Mix with butter, powdered sugar and cinnamon to form a crumbly dough. Work only briefly, do not knead until elastic.
  3. Roll out about 1½ cm thick and cut out about 20 small circles. Bake on baking paper at 170°C for 12-15 minutes.
  4. Allow to cool on the tray for at least 30 minutes: the warm polvorones are very fragile.
