Kransekage

Ingredients

Almond flour

2 cups

Powdered sugar

2 cups, plus more for dusting

Egg whites

2 large

Almond extract

1 teaspoon

Instructions

1. Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
2. In a large bowl, combine the almond flour and powdered sugar, ensuring they are well mixed.
3. In a separate bowl, whisk the egg whites until stiff peaks form, which will add volume and lightness to the dough.
4. Gently fold the whipped egg whites into the almond flour mixture, taking care not to deflate the egg whites.
5. Add the almond extract and mix until just combined, creating a smooth and pliable dough.
6. Transfer the dough to a piping bag fitted with a star-shaped nozzle to create beautiful designs.
7. Pipe the dough into rings of decreasing size onto the prepared baking sheet, ensuring they are evenly spaced.
8. Bake in the preheated oven for 12-15 minutes, or until the rings are golden brown and firm to the touch.
9. Allow the kransekage to cool completely on the baking sheet before carefully removing them.
10. Dust with additional powdered sugar before serving to create a beautiful finish.
