400g ground almonds
2 cups icing sugar - sifted
2 egg whites, lightly beaten
2 teaspoons brandy

Combine almonds and 1 1/2 cups of the sugar in large bowl; mix well.

Add egg whites and brandy; stir until a stiff dough forms. Turn marzipan dough onto bench sprinkled with remaining icing sugar mixture. Knead until dough is smooth and most of the sugar has been incorporated. The dough should be easy to work with although slightly sticky. Wrap in glad wrap and refrigerate until required.
