Ingredients
  

Main
  • 1/2 cup 115g unsalted butter, softened to room temperature
  • 1/2 cup 100g granulated sugar
  • 1 cup 100g ground almonds (almond flour)

Equipment

  • Electric mixer or mixing bowl and whisk

  1. Cut your softened butter into small pieces and place them in a mixing bowl.
  2. Using an electric mixer, beat the butter and sugar for 2 to 3 minutes until pale and fluffy.
  3. Add the ground almonds to the mixture and blend for about 1 minute until evenly distributed.
  4. Crack one egg into a small bowl and pour it into the almond mixture while mixing. Beat for 1 minute until smooth.
  5. Add the second egg and mix for another minute until no visible egg streaks remain.
  6. Add the almond extract and salt, then mix on low speed for 15 to 20 seconds to combine.
  7. Check the consistency; it should be smooth and spreadable. Adjust if necessary.
