Makrout a Louz – Algerian Almond Cakes, Delicious little diamonds of tangy almond delight! Easy to make and very much appreciated by all Perfect for Eid celebrations or any special (or not so special!) ocassion I also make these using a mix of desiccated coconut & ground almonds – 150g ground almonds + 200g desiccated coconut You can freeze these and then put the syrup and icing sugar on later I like to make a few things in advance so I’m not cooking 24/7 just before Eid etc , Have to agree with the other rating – this recipe was FANTASTIC It was really simple but was really time consuming (putting syrup & sugar on) These are nearly all gone now and I only mmade 28 hours ago!!! Will try them with lemon next time out of interest – love lime though
