Introduction

The wonderful woman who gave me this recipe, and the rest of the Italian family, loved these when I brought them to her son’s hockey game. The slightly uneven texture is sandy without being dry or grainy thanks to the ground almonds, and the hint of lemon brightens them up and adds a little flair.
