*Ingredients:* Sugar - 450 g (for a less sweet version I used 300 g of sugar) Eggs - 4 (room temperature) + 1 egg to wash the surface of the dough Baking powder - about 8 g Flour - 600 g Almonds (better with skins) - 500 g Butter - 100 g (room temperature) Honey - 50 g Vanilla A pinch of salt Zest of half a lemon *Method:* 1. In a big bowl mix flour with baking powder. Add eggs one at a time mixing with a wooden spoon. Switch on the oven. 2. Add softened butter, sugar and lemon zest. Mix well. 3. Add vanilla, pinch of salt and honey. Mix well. 4. Add almonds. Mix. Continue working the dough on the counter. The dough will appear dry in the beginning. Keep working on it until you can get it together into a ball. 5. Divide the dough into six parts and roll them into long "baguettes". 6. Place three of them on the baking tray with baking paper leaving about 7 cm in between them. 7. Mix one egg in a bowl and wash the surface of the 'baguettes". 8. Bake at 180C in the preheated oven for about 20-25 min until the "baguettes" are golden brown. 9. Pull them out, let them cool a bit, and slice "the baguettes" into smaller pieces. 10. Put them back into the oven for about 10 minutes. They will get dry and crunchy. 11. After they are completely cooled, you can store them in an air-tight cookie jar (it's better to get one with a key).
