  4. Carefully fold in the ground almonds, baking powder, and a pinch of salt until a smooth and homogeneous batter is formed.
Baking

For enhanced flavor, consider adding almond extract along with the orange juice. Serve with vanilla ice cream or a berry compote for an elevated experience. Store leftovers in an airtight container at room temperature for up to three days or in the refrigerator for up to a week.
