Ingredients
- 12 pasture-raised eggs (divided)
- 1 cup raw, local honey
- 1/4 cup hot, boiling, filtered water
- 3 cups almond flour
- 1/8 teaspoon cardamom powder
- 1/8 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1/4 teaspoon sea salt
Directions
Preheat the oven to 300F. Butter a 9″ x 13″ baking dish.
Take 6 of the eggs and separate the egg whites from the yolks. Set the yolks aside. Beat the egg whites until stiff, about 10 minutes. Set aside.
Mix together the honey and hot water to create a diluted syrup. Add the 6 remaining eggs, 6 reserved yolks, cardamom powder, vanilla and almond flour to the syrup. Stir to combine. Slowly fold in the stiffly beaten egg whites.
Transfer the mixture to the buttered baking dish and bake for 20-30 minutes, or until golden. The consistency of the baked dish should be fluffy and light.
Cool and cut into squares.
