For a richer flavor, toast the blanched almonds lightly before grinding. Adjust the amount of almond extract to your preference, experimenting with other extracts like vanilla or lemon for a unique twist. If the paste is too dry, add a tiny amount of egg white. If it is too wet, add a bit of the confectioners’ sugar.
