Roasted Chickpea Sweet

The whites of five eggs, well beaten

Half a cup of butter

Sugar, as much as suffices

As much as suffices of almonds, peeled and cut lengthwise with scissors into quarters, then toasted a little in the oven until golden. And as much as suffices of roasted, unsalted qudama, pounded or ground and sifted (or, instead of the qudama, ground pistachios or almonds)

Half a teaspoon of vanilla essence

Method: Beat the butter well until it whitens, then add the sugar gradually, alternating with the egg whites, and after that add the essence. Then add enough of the qudama flour for the mixture to thicken and become somewhat firm. Then take a little of the mixture and roll it in the palm of the hand until it takes the shape of a walnut. Then stick the pieces of almond into it, then sift fine sugar over it.
