• baking soda
• salt
• milk

Almondina Pistachio and Dried Cherry Crisp Thins Directions

1. Heat oven to 350 degrees F.
2. Spray bottom and sides of loaf pan with cooking spray.
3. In large bowl, combine flour, pistachios, brown sugar, dried cherries, salt and baking soda.
4. Stir in milk. Spoon batter evenly into prepared pan. The mixture will be thick.
5. Bake 60 minutes until golden brown.
6. After 30 minutes, remove from the pan.
7. Cool completely on cooling rack.

How to make the Almondia thins, crisp.

1. Transfer to freezer and freeze at least 1 hour, but no more than 3 hours.
2. Heat oven to 400 degrees F.
3. Use sharp serrated knife to cut loaf into ⅛-inch thick slices. The semi frozen state of the loaf will help keep the cookie from crumbling while being sliced so thinly.
4. Arrange slices in single layer on a cookie sheet.

6. Store at room temperature in airtight container up to 1 week.

How do I make mini Almondina crips?

There are two options when it comes to the size of your Almondina thins. Use a traditional 9×5 loaf pan to make long fruit and nut crips. Or if you like to make mini almondina fruit and nut thins, use 3 mini loaf pans.
