Method

  1. 1

    Heat the oven to 180°C (160°C fan). Line two trays with baking paper.

  2. 2

    Whisk the egg whites and sugar for 1 minute until just frothy. Stir in the flour, melted butter and vanilla until smooth.

  3. 3

    Drop level teaspoons of batter well apart on the tray, spreading each into a thin 7 cm round. Scatter with almonds. Bake only 4 to 5 at a time.

  4. 4

    Bake for 6 to 8 minutes, until the edges are golden brown and the middle is pale.

  5. 5

    Lift each with a palette knife straight away and drape over a rolling pin. They set crisp in about 30 seconds. If they harden, return to the oven for 1 minute.

  6. 6

    Cool fully. Store in an airtight tin and eat within 3 days.
