Here’s some freshly baked, melt in your mouth Almond Rings dusted generously with pistachios. Enjoy with a cup of tea or coffee!
Time’s flying, ain’t it! This month, the guest blogger I would like to introduce is Linda who blogs at La Petite Paniere. Like I have always said, blogging has introduced me to people from across the globe. Linda is from Algeria but currently lives in Dubai with her family. Wow, Algeria – a country I know nothing about.
If you are a lover of International cuisine, then Linda’s blog is a must visit. You can really get to learn and understand more about traditional Algerian cuisine and dishes. Linda has a way with making her dishes look so delectably gorgeous; go take a look! And my favourite section of her blog – the traditional Algerian dishes.
Today, Linda brings us a batch of freshly baked, melt in your mouth almond rings sprinkled abundantly with decadent pistachios. I loved these almond rings; not only can these made in a jiffy, these are healthy and a perfect snack or tiffin-box addition for your children. I can easily see myself baking a batch of these for my ‘almond crazy’ son.
So here’s goes the recipe for Almond rings – simple yet indulgent.
In Linda’s words;
‘This recipe is from my family; we love to enjoy these little rings in the afternoon with a good “cafe au lait”. Bon Appétit.

Reblogged this on La Petite Panière and commented:
Yet another guest post! My latest recipe can be found on The Spice Adventuress’s blog (formerly known as Skinny Chef De Cuisine). Her blog includes recipes from around the world (from India to the Middle East no name just a few), and also features stunning pictures. I am very happy to bring a Traditional Algerian Sweet recipe to her international blog!
Dhanya,
Did it taste eggy as I don’t use egg wash cause I feel it might be too eggy.
Thanks,
Anu
Anu, this is a guest post by Linda for my blog as I mentioned in the post. But I will ask her what you asked and get back to you.
Anu, there is no eggy taste 🙂 Or mix the egg yolk with a little of milk. I hope it helps!
Looks yumm 🙂 Thanks to Linda !!
