Version française

Note: the mantecadas are a sort of shortbread, typically Spanish, from Andalousia. They are made of lard and eaten in Christmas.

Ingredients:
- 200 gr. lard
- 200 gr. icing sugar
- 200 gr. flour
- 200 gr. ground almonds
- Sugar (for coating)

Method: in a bowl, mix all the ingredients (the lard at room temperature) and knead well. On a floured surface, roll out the dough about 1/3 inch. Cut the mantecadas and place them in a baking tray with a leaf of baking paper. Bake the mantecadas in the preheated oven at 180º for 15 minutes. Coat them with sugar.
