Total Time 1 hours 45 minutes

Prep Time 1 hours 30 minutes

Cook Time 15 minutes

Yield 22 shortbreads

Number Of Ingredients 10

8 ounces unsalted butter
3 1/2 ounces slivered almonds
2 cups plain flour
1 teaspoon baking powder
3/4 cup icing sugar, sifted
1 egg yolk
1 teaspoon vanilla
1 tablespoon ouzo
4 tablespoons almond meal
1/2 cup icing sugar (extra, for dusting)

  • Gently melt the butter over low heat in a small heavy-based saucepan; without stirring or shaking the pan. Carefully pour the clear butter into another container, leaving the white sediment in the pan to be discarded. Refrigerate for 1 hour.

  • Grind the slivered almonds to a medium fine meal.
