Directions
In a food processor, grind the almonds to a powder by pulsing off and on to keep the powder loose.
Mix the almonds with the powdered sugar and flour.
In a separate bowl, beat the egg whites to soft peaks.
Gradually beat in the granulated sugar until stiff.
Fold in the lemon zest and almond extract.
Pipe the mixture with a pastry bag using a round ¼ inch tip into 1½-inch rounds onto baking sheets lined with lightly buttered waxed paper or parchment.
Bake in a preheated 275℉ (140℃). for 1 hour, checking to make sure the amaretti don't brown.
Turn off the oven and let the amaretti dry out for an additional hour--they should be very crisp.
