Almond Shortbread Topping recipe calls for sliced almonds. However, it doesn’t say how much to use. Just the word “cup” comes directly after the words “whipping cream.” Please advise as to the measurement of almonds to use. Thank you.
Hi Elizabeth! Thank you so much for pointing this out to us! Sometimes our ingredients and directions can get lost in translation from print to web. We’ve corrected the recipe to include 1/2 cup sliced almonds. Hope this helps!
So, I don’t understand. When do you bake this? Do you eat it as is, or baked? How do you use it?
Hi Becky! So sorry for the confusion! This recipe is a cobbler topping. We used it on our Miniature Peach Cobblers, but we’re sure it would be delicious on other cobblers, too! Place the topping on a cobbler, and bake at 350 for 25 minutes.
