Almond Bread

Ingredients

3 egg whites

1/2 cup castor sugar

1 cup plain flour

125g almonds

240 g glace cherries

Method

Beat egg whites until soft peaks form. Gradually beat in sugar, beating will after each addition, until all sugar is disolved. Fold in sifted flour, whole almonds, and cherries.

Spread into a 25cm x 8cm bar tin, lined with baking paper.

Cook in an oven for 30-35 mins (180ºC) or until just firm. Cool out of tin.

When cold, wrap in alfoil and put aside for one or two days. Using a very sharp knife, cut bread wafer thin and put the slices onto a baking tray. Bake in a SLOW oven for 45 mins, or until crisp (not too dark- just starting to colour).

Makes about 40.
