ALMOND SLICE

Hi All, I hope all of you are hanging in there. Hope, positivity, and family are the true lifelines at this time. This is my go-to recipe whenever I feel down or I crave to have something sweet and yummy. This one's greasy, sweet but delicious and healthy. I did it with whatever I had, nothing fancy, no special garnishing or anything. Spreading some cheer around, here it goes. The recipe is called

ALMOND SLICE

INGREDIENTS

ALMOND FLOUR: 1/2 CUP
MILK POWDER (MAWA) or Khoya: 1 and 1/2 CUP
SUGAR: 1 CUP
UNSALTED BUTTER: 1 STICK melted 1/2 CUP
EGGS: 3 LARGE


ALMOND SLICE






VARIATIONS

You could double the measurements and bake it in a 7-11 inch ovenproof shallow pan for a bigger batch.

if you do not want to add so much butter and sugar, substitute it with oil or milk, like I added half cup oil and butter. You could add 1/2 cup milk and butter, melted butter gives you added flavor but also makes it heavy and greasy.

Basically, you need to get a batter consistency, not too thick or thin just like a dosa batter or cake batter.

Instead of 1 cup sugar, you could make it 3/4th cup sugar or 1/2 cup sugar.

I used store-bought almond powder. You could try making it with Almond Flour.

You could also add 1 tsp baking powder, 1/2 tsp baking soda, and a pinch salt.

Don't whisk the eggs too much, just use a fork to whisk it well so it's well blended.

Melt the butter before adding to the dry mix.

MAKING

Preheat the oven to 325 F

Mix all the dry ingredients. Now pour the melted butter and whisked eggs into the dry ingredients and mix well. Pour the batter into a 7-9 inch ovenproof shallow dish/pan.

Place it into the oven and bake at 325 F for 55 minutes. Oven heat varies so keep checking. Poke it with a knife, if it comes out clean then it's well baked. Once taken out, allow it to cool. Flip it and take the Almond cake out, cut it into slices and serve.

Garnish it with toasted pecans or walnuts or slivered almonds.

Delicious Almond slice is ready to eat. I love it chilled but you could serve it warm too with whipped cream or eat it just as it is. It lasts for several days and tastes absolutely divine. Very healthy as it has almonds.
