1. 
   
   • Preheat oven to 160°C fan-assisted.
   • In your mixer, blend the sugar, flour and almonds.  Add the almond essence and the butter cut into small pieces.  Blend for about 1 min till the mixture resembles breadcrumbs.
   • Add the egg white and blend a further min to bring all the ingredients together into a ball. 
     
   • Line the baking tray with paper.  Ideally you would use a tray the size of the oven capable of taking 40 biscuits.  Using a spoon, take a small amount of dough and roll into a ball. Place on the tray and continue, spacing the balls evenly, till all the dough is used up.   Decorate with flaked almonds and flatten slightly with the back of a spoon 
     
   • Cook on the lower shelf of the oven for 25-30 mins.  When ready the bsicuits should feel dry to the touch.
