Cinnamon Balls - ground almonds

Method

• 1. Mix the almonds, sugar, and cinnamon together in a medium bowl.
• 2. Whisk the egg whites in a separate bowl until they begin to stiffen.
• 3. Fold whisked eggs into the dry mixture until the combination is fairy firm.
• 4. Use your hands to roll the mixture into pecan-sized balls and place these onto a greased baking sheet.
• 5. Bake for about 15 minutes at 350°F.
• 6. Remove from oven and use a metal spatula to separate the balls from the baking sheet before they cool too much.
• 7. Once the cinnamon balls are completely cooled, sift some confectioner's sugar onto a plate. Gently roll each ball on the plate until it is completely coated in sugar. Add more sugar to the plate as necessary.
