Instructions

1

Sift almond flour and powdered sugar into a large mixing bowl to remove any lumps.

2

Add almond extract and rose water (if using) to the dry ingredients. Mix well.

3

If the mixture is too dry, add a lightly beaten egg white to help bind the ingredients.

4

Knead the mixture with your hands until it forms a smooth, pliable dough. If it's too sticky, add a bit more powdered sugar.

5

Wrap the marzipan in plastic wrap and let it rest at room temperature for about an hour before using.

6

Shape the marzipan into desired forms or use it to cover cakes. Store any unused marzipan in an airtight container.
