Almond Biscuits

Easy to make crispy almond biscuits.

Instead of using 3/2C All Purpose Flour, i used 3/4C All Purpose Flour and3/4C Wheat Flour. I also used splenda instead of regular sugar. If using salted butter, do not add salt. Brushing with milk provides glazing. Glazing can be done with a lightly beaten egg instead.
