Step by step for perfect pricomigdale:

1. Preparing the egg whites:
Start by separating the egg whites from the yolks. It is important to ensure that no traces of yolk remain in the egg whites, as this can prevent them from whipping. Place the egg whites in a clean, dry bowl. Use an electric mixer or whisk to beat the egg whites until they become frothy and start to form soft peaks.

2. Adding the sugar:
Continue to whip the egg whites, gradually adding the sugar and vanilla sugar. Keep mixing until you achieve a firm, glossy meringue that holds on the mixer’s paddle. This is a sign that the egg whites are ready!

3. Incorporating the dry ingredients:
At this point, add the flour and ground nuts. Use a spatula to gently fold in the ingredients, being careful not to deflate the mixture. The movements should be gentle, from top to bottom, to maintain the light texture of the meringue.

4. Preparing the tray:
Grease the baking tray with a little oil and dust it with flour. This step is essential to prevent the pricomigdale from sticking. Make sure to evenly distribute the oil and flour.

5. Shaping the pricomigdale:
Use a teaspoon or piping bag to form small mounds of dough on the prepared tray. Leave enough space between them, as they will spread slightly during baking.

6. Baking:
Preheat the oven to 150°C (300°F). Bake the pricomigdale for 15-20 minutes or until they turn lightly golden at the edges. Do not leave them in the oven too long, as they may lose their light texture.

7. Cooling and filling:
Once the pricomigdale are baked, let them cool completely on a wire rack. You can fill them with chocolate cream (Nutella) or another favorite chocolate cream, sticking them together in pairs for a delicious effect.

Helpful suggestions:

- Variations: Instead of nuts, you can use ground almonds for a different flavor. You can also experiment by adding flavors like cinnamon or cocoa to the mixture.
- Serving: Pricomigdale are best served alongside a cup of freshly brewed coffee or a fragrant tea. For an extra treat, you can sprinkle powdered sugar on top of the pricomigdale before serving.
- Maintaining texture: If you want to keep the pricomigdale crispy for longer, store them in an airtight container away from moisture.
