Almond and Orange Dumplings

The almond and orange dumplings are small cakes that go perfectly with mint tea. They are very tasty with their taste of almond, orange and orange flower. A one-way ticket to Rabat at Café Maure!

Recipe for 4 people:

-250g almond powder

-100g of caster sugar

-1 egg

-the zest of a whole untreated orange

-a quarter packet of baking powder

-orange blossom

-slivered and/or chopped almonds

-sugar ice

Preheat the oven to 180°C.

Put the almond powder, caster sugar and yeast in a bowl.

Add egg and orange zest.

Start mixing and add orange blossom. Add just enough orange blossom to form a ball of dough.

Pour chopped or slivered almonds or both onto plates. Take a ball of dough the size of a cherry and roll it in the almonds.

Once all the balls are rolled in almonds, place them on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.

Then sprinkle them with powdered sugar with a tea strainer. Place in the oven and cook for about 15 minutes.

Put them to cool on a rack. Serve them an hour later with a mint tea!
