I did make them once but someone said to sift the almond flour (which I bought) and it took for EVER to sift it through a fine metal sieve. It would be wonderful to know that that step is unnecessary. I might have to try it again your way!Caroline @ Pinch Me, I'm Eating!http://www.pinchmeimeating.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2107692602665196400.post-33622499119740187322016-04-07T15:55:30.533-04:002016-04-07T15:55:30.533-04:00I've never even heard of that liqueur!
