Ingredients
- 2 ¼ cups fine almond flour
- 1 ¾ cup powdered sugar
- ¼ cup water
- 2 teaspoons almond extract
- ¼ teaspoon food grade rose water (optional)
Method
- Put the almond flour and powdered sugar into a food processor and pulse them together into a fine, even powder.
- Add the water, almond extract and the rose water if you are using it, then process again until the mixture gathers into a single ball, adding a tablespoon each of almond flour and powdered sugar at a time if it still sticks to your fingers.
- Turn the marzipan onto a clean surface and knead it for a minute or two until completely smooth.
- Roll the paste into a log, wrap it tightly in plastic wrap, and chill it in the fridge for an hour before slicing or shaping it for cakes and cookies.
