1-1/4 cups (300 mL) ground almonds

1 cup (250 mL) rice flour

1/2 cup (125 mL) tapioca flour

1/2 tsp (2 mL) ground cinnamon

1/2 tsp (2 mL) salt

In a large bowl, beat butter with sugar until fluffy.

Add yolk and remaining egg to butter mixture and beat well.

In a separate bowl, whisk together 1/3 cup (75 mL) of the almonds, the rice flour, soy flour, tapioca flour, cinnamon and salt and add to butter mixture in 2 additions and stir just until blended.

Lightly beat reserved egg white with 1 tbsp (15 mL) water.

Place remaining almonds in shallow dish.

Roll dough by scant 1 tbsp (15 mL) into balls.

Dip each into egg white mixture and roll in almonds to coat.

Using the end of a wooden spoon, make an indent in the centre of each.
