3/4 c. blanched almonds
1/4 c. sugar
1 tsp. vanilla extract
1 egg white
2 tbsp. plain flour
1 egg
2 tbsp. flaked almonds
2 tbsp. milk sweetened with sugar

Preheat oven to 400 degrees. Mix chopped almonds with sugar and vanilla. Moisten with egg white until evenly combined. Add flour and gather mixture together with fingers. Divide into nut-size pieces with lightly floured hands, roll into small cigar shapes. Brush each with beaten egg white and sprinkle with flaked almonds bent into a crescent shape.

Place on greased baking sheet and brush lightly with remaining egg. Bake for about 10-15 minutes until evenly colored. Remove from oven and brush with sweetened milk. Using a palette knife loosen from pan. Cool on wire rack. Makes 20.
