1 Melt the butter in a small saucepan over low
heat and then set aside to cool.

4 Bake the almonds for 5–10 minutes until
slightly colored, tossing halfway.

7 Add the sugar and chopped almonds to
the bowl and stir until well combined.

2 Preheat the oven to 350°F (180°C). Line
a baking sheet with parchment paper.

5 Allow the almonds to cool until they are
comfortable to handle. Coarsely chop them.

8 In a separate bowl, whisk together the
eggs, vanilla extract, and the melted butter.

baking sheet. Place in the center of the oven.

6 Sift the flour through a fine sieve held over
a large bowl.

9 Gradually pour the egg mixture into the
flour while stirring with a fork.
