Instructions
- Pre-heat the oven to 170°C.
- To make the dough, mix together the eggs, lemon zest, lemon juice and sugar in a bowl.
- In another bowl rub the butter into the flour until the mixture resembles fine sand.
- Add the egg mixture into the flour and sugar mixture until you obtain a soft dough. Add 1 to 2 tbsps of milk, if necessary.
- Wrap the dough in cling film and put in the fridge to rest for 30 minutes.
- While the dough is resting, prepare the almond mixture by mixing all the ingredients together in a bowl.
- To make the figolli, sprinkle some flour on your work surface and roll out the dough. Cut it into your desired shapes by using cookie or figolli cutters.
- Top with the almond mixture. Make sure to leave a border of approximately 1 cm all around.
- Brush the boarder with some water and cover with another piece of dough.
- Bake for 35 – 40 minutes (for the standard figolli size) or until golden. We have baked the mini-figolli for approx. 20 minutes.
- Once the figolli are baked and cooled, decorate to your liking. (Check Zaara Lina's video for inspiration).
