Andalusian alfajores recipe

Ingredients to make Andalusian Alfajores:

We gather all the ingredients to prepare the Andalusian alfajores.
Prepare syrup with water and sugar. Bring to a boil for 10 minutes and let cool.
In a blender, grind the almonds and hazelnuts until obtaining fine flour.
Trick: If you use almonds with skin, it is necessary to peel them before. To do this you only have to scald them in boiling water and pinch the skin.
To continue with this recipe for Spanish sweets, we heat the honey in a pot until it boils.
Add the rest of the ingredients to the honey: the spices, the flour, the ground nuts, the breadcrumbs, the sesame and half the syrup. Mix everything well until a sticky paste is formed.
Tip: If you don’t have ground cloves, you can crush a clove in the mortar.
Place the dough on baking paper and shape the almond and hazelnut alfajores with our hands. Unlike Argentine alfajores, these Andalusian sweets are cylindrical in shape.
Coat the homemade almond alfajores with the remaining syrup and icing sugar.
If we want an original presentation for these Andalusian alfajores, we can wrap them with colored cellophane paper.
