How to make real almond marzipan
NB Preferably do not us almond flour to make marzipan, it is too dry and it does not taste as good as ground almonds.
Chop the almonds and grind them finely in the food processor.
Place the ground almonds into the mixer bowl.
Squeeze an orange to get the fresh juice.
Weigh 20 grams from the egg whites.
Add honey, egg white and juice.
Mix until combined.
Knead a moment by hand.
Weigh pieces of 30 grams.
Roll the marzipan inyo apples.
Press in a small hole.
Stick in almonds and pieces of cinnamon stick.
The marzipan apples are ready but the mini-monsters prefer chocolate coins ;)))
To taste the best the marzipan should get to room temperature before you eat it
Happy Sinterklaas months!
