In a food processor, grind the almonds to a powder by pulsing off and on to
keep the powder loose. Mix the almonds with the powdered sugar and flour.
In a separate a bowl, beat the egg whites to soft peaks. Gradually beat in
the granulated sugar until stiff. Fold in the lemon zest and almond
extract. Pipe the mixture with a pastry bag using a round 1/4-inch tip into
1 1/2-inch rounds onto baking sheets lined with lightly buttered waxed
paper or parchment. Bake in a preheated 275-degree oven for 1 hour,
checking to make sure the amaretti don't brown. Turn off the oven and let
the amaretti dry out for an additional hour--they should be very crisp.
Store them in an airtight container in the refrigerator or freezer.
