ReceptnaptárAlmond arcs
Almond arches are crisp, curved almond tiles with candied orange peel. They are an elegant partner to coffee and tea. They require quick work, since the hot dough can be bent for only a few minutes, but the look is worth it.

Ingredients
Method
Tap a step once you've finished it.
- Preheat the oven to 160 °C (145 °C fan). Line a tray with parchment and place wafer sheets on it.
- Whisk the egg whites with the salt until foamy but not stiff, then add the sugar.
- Fold in the almond slivers, finely chopped orange peel and flour. You should have a thick, sticky mixture.
- Spread the mixture thinly (about 3 mm) over the wafer sheets, right to the edges.
- Bake at 160 °C for 15-20 minutes until the edges are golden brown. Remove and, while still warm, cut into strips with a knife.
- Immediately drape the hot strips over a rolling pin or a bottle until they cool and harden. If they set, return them to the oven for 1 minute to become pliable again.

Tips
- Spread the mixture thin so it turns crisp.
- Work quickly while the dough is hot and pliable.
- If they harden, put them back in the oven for 1 minute.
- In an airtight box they stay crisp for 2 weeks.
