Three. Once the paste is made, roll out in around 15g balls nice and smooth (you should get around 38).
Four. Then using the blow torch or under a grill, singe the marzipan moments to a golden singe brown.Don’t be scare to burn them a little as it really adds to the depth of flavour which balances the sweetness and it is delicious.
