Guest guest Posted November 2, 2008 Report Share Posted November 2, 2008 I made these today and have nearly finished the lot :-( They are wonderful and very easy to make. Christie Almond Biscuits 50g (2 oz) vegan margarine 25g (1 oz) demerara sugar 75g (3 oz) ground almonds 1/2 tsp almond essence 50g (2oz) plain flour, sifted 1/2 tsp baking powder 1 Tbsp non-dairy milk Pre-heat oven to Gas Mark 4/1880C/350F. Cream margarine and sugar, mix in ground almond and almond essence then sifted flour, baking powder and non-dairy milk. Mix well together. Take heaped teaspoonfuls of the mixture, roll into balls between the palms of the hands. Flatten into biscuit shapes and place on a greased baking sheet. Bake for about 10 minutes until golden brown. Cool for about 5 minutes on the baking sheet before placing on a wire rack to cool. Makes about 16 small biscuits Only make when you have company!

Guest guest Posted November 3, 2008 Report Share Posted November 3, 2008 It can be substituted with turbinado sugar as you can see in the following link. The Cook's Thesaurus http://www.foodsubs.com/ is a great resource for finding explanations and substitutions for ingredients you don't recognise - I use it all the time. http://www.foodsubs.com/Sweeten.html Christie , " Audrey Snyder " <AudeeBird wrote: > > What is demerara sugar? > > Audrey S. > Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
