How to Make Makrout A Louz Algerian Almond Cakes 2
- In a large bowl, combine 250g ground almonds, 100g powdered sugar, 1 large egg, and the zest of 2 lemons. Mix thoroughly with your hands until well combined.
- Lightly dust your work surface with cornflour. Roll the almond mixture into a sausage shape, about the thickness of a thumb (approximately 2-2.5cm).
- Cut the sausage into 3cm pieces at an angle to create diamond shapes.
- Bake on the middle shelf of a preheated oven at 170°C (340°F) for 12-14 minutes, or until lightly golden and set. Do not overbake.
- While the cakes are still slightly warm, gently dip each one into the prepared syrup using a fork. Allow excess syrup to drip off before placing it on a wire rack to cool.
- After 15 minutes, re-dip each cake into the icing sugar.
- Place the coated cakes in paper cases to serve.
- **For the Syrup:** In a saucepan, combine 400ml (2 cups) water and 200g (1 cup) granulated sugar. Bring to a boil and simmer for 10 minutes, or until a light syrup forms.
