Preparation steps

Line 3 large baking trays with non-stick baking paper.

Mix together the ground almonds and cinnamon in a mixing bowl.

Whisk the egg whites until frothy, then gradually whisk in the icing sugar, whisking constantly. When all the sugar has been incorporated, whisk for a further 5 minutes until stiff and shiny.

Add 2/3 of the egg white mixture to the ground almonds with the lemon juice and mix well. Cover the remaining egg white mixture with a damp cloth and set aside.

Chill the almond mixture for 2 hours.

Sprinkle the icing sugar on a work surface and shape the almond mixture into a round. If it is too sticky add more ground almonds, if it is too dry, add a little of the reserved egg white mixture or more lemon juice.

Sprinkle the almond dough with icing sugar and roll out into a rectangle about 5mm|1/4" thick. Spread the reserved egg white mixture over the surface until completely covered.

Dip a 4cm|1 1/2" star cutter in hot water and cut out stars from the dough, dipping the cutter into hot water each time.

Place the stars on the baking trays and leave at room temperature for 1 hour.

Heat the oven to 180°C (160° fan) 350°F gas 4. Bake the stars for about 8 minutes until the glaze has dried. Do not allow to colour. Leave on the baking trays to firm up, then place on a wire rack to cool completely. Decorate with cinnamon sticks.
