Preparation
- STEP 1 OF 9
Dip the almonds in a saucepan full of boiling water, drain them after a couple of minutes, quickly pass them in cold water, then peel them
- STEP 2 OF 9
Place all the almonds on a baking sheet and toast them in the preheated oven (200 degrees) for 10-15 minutes until they are slightly colored, then let them cool

In the meantime, prepare the glaze: beat the egg whites until stiff in a bowl, then gradually incorporate the powdered sugar
- STEP 4 OF 9
Gently mix the mixture until it becomes quite thick

At this point, line a couple of cardboard trays with a sheet of wax paper, then dip the almonds one by one in the egg white and sugar mixture and place them on the trays, making sure to space them well apart
