Marzipan Recipe

Marzipan is a rich filling dough of ground almonds and sugar.

It is used to cover cakes and pastries, as a filling, to make sweets and much more.

My marzipan recipe uses no eggs and is very quick and easy to make.

How to Make Homemade Marzipan

Mix together the ground almonds and powdered sugar.

Make a well in the centre of the marzipan mixture and add all of the liquid ingredients.

Mix thoroughly.

You can add a tiny drop of lemon juice or syrup if the marzipan is a little dry.

Do not add too much liquid.

You should be left with an almond pastry textured dough.

Cover and place marzipan into the refridgerator for an hour.

Use your homemade marzipan recipe for baking and making sweets.
