  These turned out more like mini sponge cakes, rather than biscuits. Also, not nearly almondy enough for me. Tried again with less egg and added a few drops of almond essence. Much better.

  Recipe says to spoon Talespoons onto baking tray but think it hould be teaspoons. First batch was as above like little sponge biscuits and as I wanted them to be crispy, when cooking my second batch, when they were almost done, I pressed them down with a palette knife and they came out exactly as I wanted them. Could not taste the almonds much so next time will do as the lady above and add a little almond essence. I made these to accompany a classic syllabub .

  The recipe is based on a meringue so I baked these on a low oven for 50 mins, also adding almond essence as suggested by the other bakers. They came out crispy and light. Not sure I'd do them again though.

  Agree with the above, I'm sure it should be teaspoons. Mine were chewy and hardly tasted of almonds. A bit disappointing...
