This is another recipe from my mom's recipe notebooks. These little crisp and pungent almond and cardamom butter balls are mouthwatering.

The dough is made in minutes in the food processor.

These are simple yet very palatable little balls that would go perfect alongside a fresh fruit salad or a citrus sorbet... or a couple of them accompanying your tea cup will make your day any time of the day...
