• Preheat the oven to 190^oC/375^oF/Gas 5. Lightly grease two baking sheets.
• With a sharp knife, chop the almonds as finely as possible.
• Alternatively, use a food processor or blender to chop the nuts very finely.
• Melt the butter in a saucepan over a low heat. Remove from the heat and stir in the remaining ingredients and the finely chopped almonds.
• Drop teaspoonfuls 6cm apart on the prepared sheets.
• Bake until golden, about 5 minutes.
• Cool on the baking sheets briefly, just until the wafers are stiff enough to remove. With a palette knife, transfer to a wire rack to cool.
