About

Ugly but good, as the name says. These are often served with coffee, but can be served on their own. I love them with the Coffee & cassia ice cream.

Method

Preheat the oven to 180°C (350°F/Gas 4) and line 2 baking trays with baking paper. Grind the almonds coarsely so you have a few bits in your biscuits. Use electric beaters to whip the egg white and half the sugar to soft peaks in a small bowl first so you don’t have to wash the beaters
