Didn’t someone post a recipe for almond paste?

My brain thinks it was Michael in phoenix, but for the life of me, I can’t find it.

Does anyone have it?

Here's one from King Arthur-

Diy Almond Paste

Adapted from DIY Almond Paste

Servings: about 1 1/2 cups (375g)

INGREDIENTS

1 3/4 cups (168g) King Arthur Almond Flour
1 1/2 cups (170g) confectioners' sugar
1 large egg white
1/8 teaspoon salt
1 to 1 1/2 teaspoons almond extract, to taste

STEPS

1) Combine the almond flour and confectioners' sugar in the work bowl of a food processor or in the bowl of a stand mixer. Process or mix to blend briefly, just to combine.

2) Add the egg white, salt, and almond extract, processing or mixing until the mixture comes together and forms a malleable ball.

3) Remove the almond paste from the processor or mixer, scraping any residue from the sides of the bowl.

4) Shape the paste into a log or round. Double wrap it in plastic and refrigerate until ready to use.

5) Store almond paste, tightly wrapped, for up to 1 month in the refrigerator, or up to 3 months in the freezer.

From Bernard Clayton's New Complete Book of Breads:

Almond Paste

1 1/2 cups whole blanched almonds
1 1/2 cups sifted confectioners' (powdered)
sugar

1 egg white
1 tsp. almond extract
1/4 tsp. salt

To make the paste, grind the almonds, a portion at a time, in a food processor or blender. Combine with the confectioners' sugar, egg white, almond extract, and salt. Work into a stiff paste. Refrigerate (or freeze) in an airtight container or plastic bag. The paste must be thoroughly chilled before it can be rolled under your palms -- about 2 hours.

My notes: This stuff is really good. I have used it for cookies, breads, etc., with excellent results.

I have kept leftovers tightly sealed in plastic wrap (press ALL the air out!), and then placed inside a freezer bag. Keeps frozen for months!

That's the one!
One of the most powerful memory cues for me. Takes me back to childhood, 60 years ago, when my mom would bake at Christmas.
