dough, knead the dough several times, and let it stand in a cool
place for 5 minutes. Form the dough into 1 1/2-inch balls and press
them down with the palm of the hand to form cakes about 1/2 inch
thick. Press an almond into the center of each cake and bake the
cakes in batches on floured baking sheets in the middle of a
preheated 375F. oven for 5 minutes. Reduce the temperature to 300F.
