Fave dei morti

Ingredients:
200 g peeled almonds (or almond flour)
100 g flour 00
250 g sugar
2 tbs cinnamon (in powder) or vanilla extract
grated zest of ½ lemon
2 egg whites

Grind the almonds with a tbs of sugar.
Add the remaining sugar and all the other ingredients.













You will obtain a kind of crumble.

Make little balls with the dough, and flatten them with the fingers to obtain the shape of a fava bean (broad bean).



Put the cookies on a baking pan (covered with greaseproof paper) being careful to leave some spaces among them as they will grow during the baking.



Cook (160°C) for around 20 minutes. They will not have to become golden or brown, they will have to keep a light colour.
