Ingredients:
1/4
cup finely chopped slivered almonds
1/2 cup sugar
2 tablespoons margarine
4 egg whites, lightly beaten
2 teaspoons almond extract
2 cups all-purpose flour
2 teaspoons baking powder
1/4 teaspoon salt
Instructions:
Preheat oven to 375°F. Place almonds in small
baking pan. Bake 7 to 8 minutes or until golden
brown. (Watch almonds carefully. They burn easily.)
Set aside.
Beat sugar and margarine in medium bowl with electric
mixer until smooth. Add egg whites and almond
extract; mix well. Combine flour, baking powder
and salt in large bowl; mix well. Stir egg white
mixture and almonds into flour mixture until well
blended.
Spray two 9X5-inch loaf pans with nonstick cooking
spray. Evenly divide dough between prepared pans;
spread dough evenly onto bottoms of pans with
wet fingertips. Bake 15 minutes or until knife
inserted in centers comes out clean. Remove from
oven; turn out onto cutting board.
As soon as loaves are cool enough to handle, cut
each loaf into 16 (1/2-inch-thick) slices. Place
slices on baking sheets covered with parchment
paper or sprayed with cooking spray. Bake 5 minutes;
turn over. Bake 5 minutes more or until golden
brown. Serve warm or cool completely and store
in airtight container.
