In a medium bowl cream together the butter, vanilla essence and light brown soft sugar. Gradually beat in the egg.
Finely chop the almonds and add to the bowl with the lemon rind. Sieve the flour, baking powder and salt into the bowl and stir well to make stiff dough.
On a well floured surface and using floured hands, shape the dough into a log about 25.5cm (10in) long and transfer to a greased baking sheet.
Flatten the log using the palm of your hand, to a thickness of about 2.5cm (1in). Lightly beat the egg white and brush over the surface and sides of the log. Bake in a preheated oven at 180°C, 350°F, gas mark 4 for about 20 minutes until golden and firm. Leave to stand on the baking sheet for 20 minutes.
Transfer the log to a board and cut into 1cm (1/2in) diagonal slices. Place the slices cut side down onto the baking sheet and bake for a further 10-12 minutes until golden and dried out. Transfer to a wire rack to cool. Dredge with icing sugar before serving.
