7/8 cup (100 g) 4 oz ground almonds

method
1. Grease a baking sheet and cover with rice paper. Set the oven at 160°c (325°f) gas 3.
2. In a clean, grease-free bowl, whisk the egg whites until frothy but not stiff enough to form peaks.
3. Stir in the sugar, ground almonds and ground rice.
4. Beat with a wooden spoon until thick and white.
5. Using a coffee spoon, place tiny heaps of the mixture on the rice paper, allowing a little room for spreading.
6. The biscuits should be no more than 2 cm (3/4 inch) in diameter.
7. Bake for 10 - 12 minutes or until pale fawn in colour.
Transfer to a wire rack and cool.
