Ingredients:

1 tbsp

Kirsch (15 g)

Directions:

1

If using a stand mixer: Combine the almond paste, confectioners' sugar, and 1 tablespoon of the brandy in the mixing bowl

2

Mix on low speed until everything is completely incorporated and the dough is smooth and pliable, about 5 minutes

3

If using your hands: Form the almond paste into a flat round on your work surface

4

Dust half of the confectioners' sugar over the round and begin kneading it into the paste, folding the paste over on itself repeatedly

5

Drizzle 1 tablespoon of the brandy over the dough and knead it in

6

Once it's incorporated, dust the remainder of the sugar over the dough and knead until it's completely incorporated

7

The dough should be uniform and pliable

8

If it's dry, add a few more drops of flavoring (or warm water) and knead until it's at the desired consistency; if it's sticky, a little more confectioners' sugar
