From: "Great Healthy Food - Diabetes" by Azmina Govindji
Yield: 16 bars
2 cups all-purpose flour
2 tsp baking powder
2/3 cup reduced-fat margarine
2 Tbsp granulated sugar
2/3 cup ground almonds
1/3 cup PLUS 2 Tbsp candied cherries, finely chopped
1 large egg, beaten
3/4 cup skim milk
Preheat the oven to 325 degrees F. Lightly grease
and line a jelly-roll pan with parchment paper.
Sift the flour and baking powder. In a large bowl,
cream the margarine and sugar until light and fluffy.
Stir in the ground almonds and cherries.
Mix the beaten egg with the milk and almond extract,
and gradually beat into the creamed margarine and
sugar, adding a little of the flour mixture if there
is any sign of curdling.
Beat in the rest of the flour mixture, turn into the
prepared pan and bake for about 35 minutes or until
a skewer inserted in the center comes out clean.
Remove the lining paper, allow to cool on a wire rack and when
completely cool, cut into bars or squares before serving.
