Steps:
- Put ground almonds or coconut, baking powder, sugar and vanilla in a large bowl and mix well (traditionally with your hand). Slowly incorporate the eggs until a firm paste has been achieved.
- Make small balls from the dough - slightly larger than a malteser or olive. Roll each ball in the chopped flaked almonds or coconut and coat well.
- Place the mchewek balls on a baking sheet which has been greased and lightly floured. Put 1/4 a glace cherry on the top in the centre of each mchewek.
- Cook in a preheated oven at 170c for approximately 12 minutes or until almonds have turned a pale golden colour.
- Allow to cool before placing in small bun/sweet cases (optional).

[email protected]This mchewek was a bit too spicy for my taste, but it was still very good. I would recommend using less cayenne pepper if you don't like spicy food.
