Almond Paste - cooking recipe

Ingredients

2 1/2 cups powdered sugar
1 1/4 cups ground almonds
2 tbsp brandy
1 None egg yolk
1 tsp strained lemon juice

Preparation

Sift the powdered sugar and almonds into a large bowl; discard any lumps. Stir in the remaining combined ingredients.
When the mixture becomes too stiff to stir, use your fingers to press the ingredients together. Turn the paste onto a surface dusted with additional sifted powdered sugar; knead gently until paste becomes smooth and pliable.
Wrap the paste in plastic wrap to keep airtight until required.
