Method:
Sift the flour, baking powder, salt
and sugar together into a mixing bowl.
Separate the yolk from the white
and set aside 2 teaspoons of yolk which will be
used as a glaze. Mix the rest of the white with
the egg yolk, sour cream, vanilla and almond essences,
and the milk.
Make a well in the middle of the
flour mixture and gradually add the egg mixture
to form a stiff dough.
Roll out the dough on a lightly
floured surface until around 8mm thick. Using
a 7cm round cookie cutter, cut out rounds from
the dough. Collect together the leftover dough,
roll out and cut out remaining rounds.
Place the rounds onto a lightly
greased baking tray. Brush the tops with the left
over egg white and sprinkle with the flaked almonds.
Heat the oven to 200° C and
bake for 10 minutes until lightly golden on top.
Cool before storing in an airtight contrainer.
