Almond Cake Drops

These melt in your mouth, almond drops are great with a cuppa!

Ingredients

220g Melted butter

280g Plain flour

140g Castor sugar

1 Egg yolk

2 1/2 tsp of almond extract

Pinch of salt

Choice of Jam

Method

Preheat the oven to 190°c/gas mark 5
Have two baking trays ready
Place the sugar and butter into a bowl and cream until light and fluffy.
Beat the egg yolk with the almond extract and add this to the creamed sugar and butter. Beat until combined.
Sieve the flour and salt and add this to the batter until when combined.
Using a tablespoon or a scope, form round balls (the best you can) and place them on the baking tray.
Use a dampened handle of a wooden spoon to form holes in the centre of the round moulds. Then add a small amount of your choice of jam.
Bake for 12 minutes or until they are golden brown.

Tip: These drops are very cake-like and so it the batter. It might be difficult to form round moulds using your hands so I would recommend using a scope.

You can also add 55g of chopped almonds if you like.
