240 g granulated sugar, divided
220 g blanched almonds
2 medium sized egg yolks
1 Tbsp lemon juice
1 Tbsp orange flower water or rose water
¼ tsp vanilla extract/essence (not flavouring)
1 tsp almond extract/essence (or more to taste)
|
| Method |
1. Weigh 100 g granulated sugar into the TM bowl, grind to caster sugar 5 seconds/Speed 10. Tip out and set aside.
2. Weigh remaining 100 g granulated sugar into the TM bowl, grind to icing sugar 1 minute/Speed 10. Set aside in a wide flat bowl or on a plate.
3. Weigh the blanched almonds (they must be dry) into the TM bowl and grind until fine 10 seconds/Speed 10.
4. Add the caster sugar and most of the icing sugar. Mix 10 seconds/Speed 3.
5. Add egg yolks and flavourings. Knead 1 minute/Dough Setting until a rough paste is formed.
6. Taste and add more almond essence if desired. Knead 30 seconds/Dough Setting if you’ve added more. Turn out of the TM bowl and use the remaining icing sugar to roll out the marzipan.
