Instructions

1. Work the marzipan, sugar, egg white, lemon peel and bitter almond oil with a dough hook to a smooth part.
2. Shape small rolls (approx. 7 cm long) with damp hands, roll in almond flakes and shape into croissants.
3. Place on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.
4. Bake in the preheated oven at 175 degrees on the middle rack for 12-15 minutes. Take out and let cool.
5. Chop the couverture and melt it in a water bath.
6. Dip the croissant at one end 2-3cm deep in the couverture and let it set.
7. Dust with powdered sugar if necessary.
8. Nice to give away: Line a flat box or metal box with a round cake tip so that the cake tip stands up at the edges. Place croissants in them, dust with powdered sugar if necessary and close with the lid!
9. Very italiano: you can also use pine nuts instead of the flaked almonds.
