Ingredients

• Almond flour - 100 grams
• Powdered sugar - 80 grams
• Egg whites - 2 large
• Unsalted butter - 50 grams
• Vanilla extract - 1 teaspoon
• Sea salt - a pinch

Steps

1. Preheat your oven to 180°C (350°F) and line a small baking dish (about 20x10 cm) with parchment paper.
2. In a small saucepan, melt the unsalted butter over low heat until it turns golden brown, about 5 minutes. Remove from heat and let it cool slightly.
3. In a mixing bowl, whisk together the almond flour, powdered sugar, and sea salt until well combined.
4. In another bowl, beat the egg whites until frothy, then gradually add them to the dry ingredients, mixing until just combined.
5. Stir in the melted butter and vanilla extract until the batter is smooth and glossy.
6. Pour the batter into the prepared baking dish and smooth the top with a spatula.
7. Bake in the preheated oven for 15-20 minutes, or until the edges are golden and a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.
8. Remove from the oven and let cool in the pan for a few minutes before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely.
9. Cut into squares and serve warm or at room temperature.
