🍲 Preparation
- Add the flour and baking powder to a bowl. Cut the butter or margarine into small cubes and mix.

- Prepare the filling, add the almonds, sugar and grated peel to a bowl. Slowly adding orange juice until you have a smooth and spreadable mass. Set aside.
- Half the dough. Roll out each to the same size (or one slightly larger), about 25x30 cm.
- Preheat the oven to 200 degrees.
- Place one half on the (upside down) baking tray and evenly distribute the filling on top of it. Leave about half a centimeter free. Carefully place the other half of the dough over it and press the edges well with a fork. Puncture the lid with the fork.
- Bake for 20 minutes in the preheated oven (200°C) in the middle.
- Meanwhile prepare the glazing, mixing the ingredients well. Distribute evenly on the dough as soon as it leaves the oven.
- As long as it is still very warm, cut it into diamond shaped pieces and let them cool down.
