Preheat the oven to 170°C/150°C fan/Gas Mark 3.
Place all the ingredients in a food processor and blend until the mixture forms a soft dough. Alternatively rub the butter into the almonds, flour and sugar until it forms a soft dough.
Chill for 30 minutes if sticky.
Take small pieces of dough, roll into small sausage shapes about the size of your little finger, then place them in a curve or half moon shape onto baking trays lined with baking parchment.
Bake for approximately 8 to 10 minutes until they are lightly golden.
Cool for 5 minutes then dust thickly with icing sugar.
These almond biscuits will keep in an airtight cake tin for up to 1 week.
