Handle with care!

These super thin "wafers" are very brittle and break easily, so please be gentle and handle them with care.

Falling to pieces!

Did you break any? Are they falling to pieces between your fingers?
Don't throw them away...crunch them up even more, and use them for toppings!

1½ oz (50 grams) soft, unsalted butter
1½ oz (50 grams) confectioners sugar
2 tablespoons of finely chopped almonds (blanched)
1 tablespoon of flour
1 egg yolk (about ½ oz, 15 grams)

Method:

First beat the butter and confectioners sugar to a smooth paste. Add the almonds and flour and beat thoroughly. Then beat in the egg yolk.
