Ingredients

For the almond topping:

• A cup of sliced almonds
• A large egg white which is lightly beaten
• ¼ cup of ground sugar
• 2 tbsp of melted, unsalted butter
• ½ a tsp of vanilla extract

For the dough

• ¼ cup of coarse sugar
• 1 ½ cups of all-purpose flour
• ½ cup of unsalted, cold, and small pieces of butter
• ¼ tsp salt
• 1 large egg white
• 2- 3 tbsp of ice water

Steps to Whip it Up!

Preparing the dough

• In a large bowl, add the sugar, salt, and all-purpose flour. Now add the cold-cut butter pieces and mix them until they turn into coarse crumbs with the help of either your fingers or a pastry cutter.
• Until the dough comes together, mix the egg yolk by gradually adding ice water, 1 tbsp at a time. Keep mixing until it converts the dough into a ball.
• Flatten the dough and wrap it in a plastic in the form of a disk. Make sure you refrigerate it for around 30 minutes.

Preparing the almonds for topping

• In another smaller bowl, mix the sliced almonds, vanilla extract, and sugar. In that preparation, add the lightly beaten egg white and then stir with them until nicely coated.

 

• Mix some unsalted butter with honey in another bowl and keep it aside.

Assembling the almonds with the dough

• Preheat oven at 175°C or 350°F. Now, roll the chilled dough on a lightly floured surface to around 1/4-inch breadth. The dough must be cut into strips that are 4-5 inches in length and 1 inch in breadth.
• On a baking sheet, keep the dough strips lined with parchment paper. Then brush the honey-butter mixture on each of the strips.
• Now properly scatter the almond mixture over all the dough strips, and press them gently to make sure the sliced almonds stick to the strips.

Baking the sticks

• In a preheated oven, bake them for around 15 minutes, or until the almonds are toasted or the edges look golden brown.
• After 15 minutes, let them cool down and then enjoy with your family with some coffee or tea.
