I also have a lot left over. I didn't keep in mind that it's only 8 days and we don't need so much dessert in so little time. And I also saw a some cakes on sale during chol hamoed (not as good as home made but a lot more convenient.)

I will probably be making some of these, because they don't have potato starch, so they are not necessarily "pesachdik".

But I wouldn't mind seeing other recipes.

This is really good. you could probably skip the flaked almonds if you don't have.

almond slice (sorry this is all in weights not cups, you will need scales or use a conversion chart. 4oz should be half a cup)

Ingredients

Pastry
175g/6oz Plain Flour
Pinch of salt
75g/3oz margarine
Cold water
Topping
125g/4oz margarine
125g/4oz Golden Sugar
125g/4oz Ground Almonds
75g/3oz Strong White Flour
2 eggs
2 tsps Almond Essence
2 tbsps Rasberry Jam
Shamrock Flaked Almonds

Method

Sieve the flour and salt into a bowl. Rub in the margarine and add sufficient water to make a soft dough.
Turn onto a lightly floured board, roll out and line a Swiss Roll tin.
Cover and leave in the fridge while making the topping.

(I make the pastry in a food processor - process everything except water and then add water gradually and process till smooth)

To make topping

Melt the margarine in a pan over a low heat. Remove from the heat and add the sugar, ground almonds and strong flour.
Mix well, then beat in the eggs and almond essence. Leave to cool a little.
Remove pastry from the fridge, spread the jam over the top of the pastry base.
Pour the top-ping over the jam. Decorate with flaked almonds and bake in a pre-heated oven 400�F/200�C/Gas 6 for 35-40 minutes until pale golden in colour.
When cool, cut into slices.

I leave my nuts in the freezer. They last a long time.

I made a delicious shnitzel with ground nuts over Pesach.

Boneless chicken cutlets
Potato starch (tho now just use flour!)
Ground almonds (I used 6 oz. 2 bags for 3 lbs. chicken)
eggs (I needed 3)
salt, pepper

Season flour with salt & pepper and mix well with fork. Dredge chicken in flour, then eggs, then nuts. Fry up in olive oil till browning then transfer to 350 degree oven to cook through. (Nuts will burn by the time chicken is cooked through if you fry it all the way.)

So yummy!!

I also did something kinda awesome with my ground almonds. I made a sauce for salmon with olive oil, ground almonds, lemon juice and honey. I may have added something else (I forgot) but it was pretty good!
