Ingredients:  2 tablespoons matzo cake meal 3/4 cup whole blanched almonds 3/4 cup matzo cake meal 3/4 cup granulated sugar 1/2 cup chopped dried apricots 1 teaspoon grated orange rind 1/4 teaspoon almond extract 3 large egg whites |
| Instructions: Preheat oven to 325 degrees F/160 degrees C. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper, and sprinkle with 2 tablespoons matzo cake meal. Place the almonds in a food processor; pulse 3 to 4 times or until coarsely chopped. Lightly spoon 3/4 cup matzo cake meal into a dry measuring cup; level with a knife. Add 3/4 cup matzo cake meal, sugar, and remaining ingredients to almonds; pulse 3 to 4 times or just until combined (mixture will be sticky). Using hands dusted with matzo cake meal, divide dough into 16 portions. Roll each portion into a ball; pinch tops to form a pear shape. Place on prepared baking sheet. Bake in preheated oven for 20 minutes or until lightly browned. Cool on a wire rack. Makes 16 macaroons. |
