egg white goes into baking of almond crisps. saw this from Allie blog. is really fast and easy to make! pls spread it REAL THIN to enjoy the crispiness of it. it should disappear in no time fresh from oven. storing it reduce the crispy factor. if you store it, try to put it into the oven before serving (:

Almond Crisps

Ingredients:

120g egg white (around 4 egg whites)

120g castor sugar

1/2 tsp vanilla extract

80g plain flour (sifted)

1/2 tsp baking powder

Preparation:

1. Whisk together the egg whites, sugar and vanilla extract until all the sugar is dissolved.

2. Add in sifted flour and baking powder and mix till well-incorporated.

3. Spread a very thin layer on a parchment lined baking sheet and top with almond flakes. (Use parchment or silicon paper as far as possible as this cookie does not contain oil and sticks easily.)

4. Bake at 170 degrees Celsius for 8 minutes or until the edges turn brown.

5. Allow cookies to cool for a few minutes before storing in an airtight container. (Letting the cookies out in the open for too long will cause them to turn soft and soggy. Hence, store immediately after they are cooled.)

HAPPY CHINESE NEW YEAR 兔 dear friends (: hope im not 兔 late. wish you 兔年行大运。 may wealth and health stay with you and your family (:
