200g ground hazelnuts
200g caster sugar
2 egg whites
1 lemon, grated zest
In a bowl mix the sugar, the ground hazelnuts and the lemon zest.
In a separate bowl beat the egg whites with electric beaters until very stiff.
Gently fold the nut and sugar mixture into the egg whites until you have a smooth sticky paste.
Use a teaspoon to place spoonfuls of mixture in circles on the baking tray approximately 2.5 cm apart.
If you want to decorate and add extra flavor, place a whole hazelnut on top of each biscuit.
Bake for 18- 20 minutes until light brown.
