Ingredients:

Directions:

  1. Bring a pan of water to a boil. Drop the almonds in; boil for 1-2 minutes. Drain.
  2. Peel the skins off the almonds. They should easily slip off.
  3. Spread the skinned almonds onto a baking tray and allow to dry under a medium-hot grill (180 degrees C) for 8-10 minutes.
  4. Cool, and then grind in a coffee grinder into almond meal. Do the grinding in short spells, & stir each time to avoid it becoming pasty.
  5. Turn the meal into a bowl; stir in the sugar, followed with the almond extract.
  6. Add the syrup, mix in well. Now add cold water, 1 tbsp at a time, to get a play dough like consistency. Knead till smooth.
  7. Keep covered in cling wrap until you use it. Break off bit by bit, kneading colours into the dough to colour it, and shape as required.
  8. I rolled out the dough for the flowers & leaves, using mini cookie-cutters to cut out shapes. Flowers for the flowers & heart shapes for the leaves.
  9. The kids made the bugs etc just like using play dough...& had a great time. Do remember that this dough is quite sticky at times, and tends to dry a little if kept open for too long.
  10. Note : Try & use it only bit by bit. It's really delicious too, so do remember to have a bite!!!
