How to cook deliciously - Almond Paste with Whole Almonds

1. Stage

Place almonds and confectioners' sugar in the bowl of a food processor; process to a meal-like consistency, scraping down the sides and over the bottom of the bowl as needed. Don't overprocess it--at this point, the mixture should still be crumbly, not paste-like.

2. Stage

Add egg white and almond extract; process until it lumps together. If it remains crumbly, add more egg white, a few drops at a time.

3. Stage

Use a silicone spatula to remove almond paste from the food processor. It not using it right away, wrap it in waxed paper and store in an airtight container to use within a few hours. Or, place the wrapped almond paste in a freezer bag and freeze for up to six months.
