Cookies: Cinnamon Balls - pareve
Posted by : Ruth Heiges
From "Jewish Cookery," by Florence Greenberg
White of 1 large egg
4 oz. ground almonds
2 tsp cinnamon
2 oz. caster sugar [superfine]
icing sugar [powdered]
Beat the egg white to a stiff froth; add caster sugar, cinnamon and
ground almonds and mix thoroughly. Roll into small balls and bake on a
greased tin in a slow oven (350 F, Regulo No. 3) for 18 minutes. Remove
from the tin and, when cold, roll in icing sugar.
NOTE: I recommend adding a few pinches salt; taste is "flat" otherwise.
I also think this lends itself well to using parchment paper instead of
greasing the baking sheet.
