Cinnamon Balls

Desserts

Ingredients

  • 2 egg whites (at room temperature)
  • 125g caster sugar
  • 225g ground almonds
  • 1 level tbsp of cinnamon
  • Icing sugar, for dusting

Method

  1. Line a baking tray with grease proof paper and heat your oven to 160°C.
  2. Whisk the egg whites until they form stiff peaks.
  3. Add to the rest of the ingredients.
  4. Using a spatula or metal spoon, mix the ingredients together. (Avoid using a wooden spoon or over-mixing as it will bash all the air out of the egg whites).
  5. Wet your hands slightly and with a wet palm roll around 20-40 balls and place them on your baking sheet. They don’t spread too much when baked so you can fit quite a few on a tray. Pop them in the oven for 18 minutes.
  6. Remove the tray from the oven. Place the icing sugar in a bowl and while the cinnamon balls are still warm roll them around until coated all over and leave to cool completely.
