Recipe for a sweet treat


Hi guys,

Recently I was cooking with my friends and we were making macaroons. Unfortunately, they did not really turn out the way we wanted, so one of my friends said that if we add flour we can make a cake. So, here is the recipe for this amazing sweet treat.

Ingredients:
3 egg whites
A pinch of table salt
100g of plain flour
100g of almonds
6 raspberries
200g of caster or granulated sugar
As many pistachios as you like
A teaspoon of red food colouring (optional)

Method

In a bowl pour the egg whites and the salt after the are mixed with a hand held mixer. Than gradually start adding 100g of  sugar. After the sugar is combined with the mixture leave aside.

Place the almonds, 100g of sugar and the raspberries in a food processor and pulse until the nuts are finely chopped. Then add them to the sugar mixture and mix them all together.

After it is all combined add the flour and the pistachios and mix together.

Place the mixture in a tray, sprinkle ground pistachio and bake at 150 degrees C for 20 minutes, or until there is a nice crispy outer layer.

Serve with pistachio ice cream.

Enjoy.

I hope you will make this and see for yourself how good it is.

Thanks for reading.
