Almond Paste

Directions

1. 1
   Sift the powdered sugar and almonds into a large bowl; discard any lumps. Stir in the remaining combined ingredients.
2. 2
   When the mixture becomes too stiff to stir, use your fingers to press the ingredients together. Turn the paste onto a surface dusted with additional sifted powdered sugar; knead gently until paste becomes smooth and pliable.
3. 3
   Wrap the paste in plastic wrap to keep airtight until required.
