Cigarette Biscuits

These biscuits have a very simple taste but all is here for being delicious.
Being thin and crunchy, the flavor of butter, sugar and eggs spreads into your mouth.


They are perfect to eat with coffee or to dip in a chocolate mousse!


Cigarette biscuits
Ingredients for 24 pieces:
- 4 egg whites
- 1 pinch of salt
- 150 g sugar
- 100 g flour
- 2 Tbsp grounded almond
- 100 g butter



1) beat the egg whites with the salt
2) add the sugar, flour and almond
3) finally add the butter [Yes - the dough is quite liquid to be able to make them thin]
4) cover a baking tray with baking paper to make your life easier later
5) pour 1 Tbsp on the tray at a time - maybe a total of 6 over the tray (the size of a pancake max)
6) slide in the oven 175C for 3-5 min
7) look at them and take them out when the edge starts to be brown
8) immediately, take them one by one and roll them between your fingers - you see, the paper is very convenient to pick them out of the oven!
9) you may put them back into the oven on a grid for extra crunchiness.


VoilĂ !
