  • Sift the icing sugar and caster sugar into a bowl, add the almonds.
  • Then stir in the lemon juice, the almond extract and the egg using your hands or a spoon until you have a firm but workable dough.
  • Knead lightly, then roll out. You can also use the marzipan for confectionery – roll it out and use it to stuff dates, or make small rounds or squares and enrobe in dark chocolate.
