Cooking
Peeled almonds grind in a blender and mix with sifted flour. Sprinkle on dry baking sheet. Preheat the oven to 150-160C and remove the pan with flour to 45-50 min.
Periodically the flour mix. It should be a creamy shade and dry. This procedure with flour is recommended to do the day before baking polvorones. I did in the morning, waited a few hours and continued.
Sesame dry frying pan and grind in a mortar or grinder. Neither I have, I took a spoon of ice cream and rubbed it sesame.
Lard room t beat with a mixer until "fluffy", gradually adding sugar. The mixer aside and add the flour, cinnamon, and ground sesame seeds. Quickly knead the dough. Knead it is not necessary. Pork fat can be replaced with ghee, but, as they say, the result will be "heavier". Gather the dough into a ball, wrap in cling film and put into the refrigerator for 1 hour. My dough turned out dry, the ball would not roll, and I had to mix the dough fat, so do not pour all the flour at once.
Next, there are two options for shaping the cookies. 1. Chilled dough roll out to a thickness of 1-1,5 cm and cut decorative circles with a diameter not exceeding 5 mm. 2. Tear off small pieces of dough and roll the balls. I have the dough didn't roll out, or to ride in balls - crumbled. So I shaped the cookies using the above spoon for ice cream. Stuffed dough and deposited on a baking sheet. Can of raw biscuits from roll in powdered sugar and you can sprinkle powder ready cookies.
Bake for 15-20 minutes at 190-200C. To watch, that isn't dried. My first batch came out just right -- pale, but crumbly biscuits. And the second batch I decided to brown. In vain. Have polvorones from the second batch dried up and became hard and crumbly ( ( So keep your eyes peeled! If you will use lard when baking, you will hear a peculiar smell, but after cooling it will pass.
Ready definitely give the liver to cool on the baking sheet. Then sprinkle with powdered sugar. Have polvorones can be wrapped in paper and stored for long periods)
