Method

Grind Apricot Kernels in electric grinder down to a powder.

Spoon the mixture on to a sheet of nonstick baking paper, roll it into a cylinder about 4cm thick and 30 cm long, then chill for a couple of hours to use on the day - or freeze it for later.

To bake, heat the oven to 180C (fan assisted 160C)/350F/gas mark

Cut the dough cylinder into ½ cm thick slices and place them a few centimetres apart on a lined baking tray. Bake for 20 minutes, until golden.
