How to prepare groundnut paste

This is a substitute for almond paste, and may be used to cover the outside of a fruit cake which is to be coated with Royal icing, e.g. wedding Cakes, etc.

50 g groundnuts 500 g icing sugar Whites of 2 eggs

1 Roast groundnuts. Grind or pound into fine powder. It should not be oily.
2 Put into a bowl, add the sifted icing sugar and mix well.
3 Add the lightly beaten egg white. Mix all together to a stiff paste which will form into a ball.
4 Knead thoroughly until smooth but not oily.
5 Roll out into required shape.
Bon appetite!
