Step-by-step
- Heat the oven to 150C/130C fan/gas 2.
- Line a baking sheet with baking parchment or a reusable baking liner. Grind the nuts to a powder in a food processor or coffee grinder and leave on one side
- Beat the butter and sugar until light and fluffy. Add the vanilla extract, beat in the nuts, and finally stir in the flour
- Break off small lumps of the mixture and roll into balls - about 1cm diameter using slightly damp hands. Put the balls on the baking tray - leaving a gap between each one. Bake for about 25-30 minutes or until golden. Leave the biscuits to cool on the tray for a couple of minutes. Keep the oven on
- Sift the icing sugar onto a plate and roll the puffs in the sugar before returning them to the baking sheet. Return the tray to the oven for 1-2 minutes so the icing sugar 'sets'
- Leave them to cool completely and store in an airtight container
