i had to use more almonds to get it at a "droppable" consistancy. But these were just lovely. really really good. Beat the eggs until white, add sugar slowly until glossy and thick. Super easy and YUMMY made a second time...like most egg white recipes...even better on a dry day!!! made a little thumbprint and filled it with raspberry jam...they dissapeared at the office with requests for more.
