Amygthalota Greek Almond Biscuits Recipe For Your Thermomix

March 6, 2017 by Sia Aristidou 1 Comment

    AMYGTHALOTA GREEK ALMOND BISCUITS

    Amygthalota are Greek almond biscuits traditionally made to celebrate new life. We make them for special occasions such as the birth of a baby, christenings and weddings.

    INGREDIENTS

    • 560g blanched almonds or 560g almond meal
    • 300g white sugar
    • 145g or 4 egg whites
    • 1⁄4 tsp vanilla extract

    STEPS

    1. Preheat the oven to 180 degrees, fan forced.
    2. Weigh 250g of blanched almonds into the bowl.
    3. Mill almonds into almond meal 10 seconds/speed 7. Set aside.
    4. Repeat step 2 and 3 until all blanched almonds are used. Do not mill more than 250g of almonds at a time.
    5. Clean and dry the bowl before making icing sugar.
    6. Mill white sugar (300g) to make icing sugar 10 seconds/speed 9. Add icing sugar to almond meal. Set aside.
    7. Use the scales to weigh out 145g of egg whites (approximately 4 eggs).
    8. Add egg whites (145g) and vanilla (1⁄4 tsp)to the almond meal and icing sugar.
    9. To combine the ingredients either:
      1. Mix all the ingredients together in a large bowl with a wooden spoon or spatula.
      2. Use the thermal cooking bowl to mix the ingredients together. If using this option, only mix half of the batch at a time 10 seconds/speed 5. Do not mix too much of the mixture in the bowl at once, as the almonds may release too much oil. This options is good to use when making a double batch or triple batch of biscuits. The mixture should be very thick and not too wet.
    10. Line a baking tray. Put 1⁄4 of the mixture into a piping bag. Use the large star tip to pipe out the Amygthalota biscuit shape.
    11. Bake in the oven for 20 minutes or until golden brown.
    12. Allow the biscuits to completely cool before serving, wrapping or freezing

      NOTES

      • Amygthalota is traditionally made for the celebration of new life. Wrap them individually in cellophane and tie with a pink or blue ribbon to offer to guests when a new baby is born or serve on the sweets table for christenings and weddings. They also make lovely bombonerie.
      • Only put a little bit of mixture into piping bag as it is very thick. If you use too much mixture at one time, it will be too hard to pipe.
      • Use egg yolks to make kourambiethes, coconut creme, brulee, omelettes or mayonnaise.
      • These biscuits can be made in advance and stored in the freezer.

          So overjoyed to have such beautiful recipes made easier to make using the thermomix! So gorgeously presented, you can feel the love of family oozing from between it’s pages, bringing a sense of home to each amazing recipe. Cannot recommend this book enough, a must have for anyone who loves Greek cuisine!!!

          This brings back some wonderful childhood memories of family dinners and the mouth watering smells wafting through the house. Thank you for “Thermomixing” the recipes to make it easier to recreate them for my family. Well done girls!!!

        • Sarah

          I have made two items so far from the cook book. The traditional greek yogurt, so yummy and so easy. I was happy I could make it thicker than I usually buy it. I also made the rice pudding which was amazing and also very easy. I normally don’t like rice pudding so was very happy with the recipe. I’m looking forward to cooking all the other yummy recipes especially the cheeses and the souvlaki.

        • Bec & Joe The 4 Blades

          Amazingly, the girls were able to cater for us (with the weird and wonderful selection of foods that don’t work for us!) We felt like we had won the food lottery!
