Περιγραφή
Amigdalota are one of the most famous Greek sweets and you can find them in many regions of Greece. They are a classic treat at engagements, weddings, baptisms and all kinds of celebrations, since, according to Greek customs, it is customary to offer white sweets on joyful occasions. The islands of the North Aegean are famous for their amigdalota, which differ from those in the rest of Greece, as they are larger in size, crunchy on the outside and soft on the inside, and are not dusted with powdered sugar.
Εκτέλεση
Beat the egg whites at room temperature, gradually add the sugar and the vanilla, turn off the mixer and, using a spatula, carefully fold in the extract and the almonds, which you have ground to a flour-like consistency. Put the mixture in a piping bag and pipe rosettes onto parchment paper, aiming to get about 20 pieces. Decorate the center of each with one almond. Bake at 180°C (355°F) for 15 minutes, until golden, taking care not to exceed 15 minutes, because they dry out and lose the desired moisture inside. Store them in a jar or a tin box.
