  • 1 cup confectioners’ sugar
  • 3/4 cup ground almonds

Method

  1. Grind ground almond, matcha powder and icing sugar with food processor to make sure there’s no lumps.
  2. Whip the eggs whites with a pinch of salt and slowly adding in the granulated sugar until soft peaks formed. Add the dry ingredients to the egg whites half at a time and start folding.
  3. You should get a slow moving batter (flow-like-magma consistency).
