## Steps

1. Mix the icing sugar, salt and flour in a bowl or food processor.
2. Cut the butter into small cubes and rub into the flour until it resembles breadcrumbs.
3. Quickly mix in the egg, adding half first, and check if more is needed to bring the dough into a firm ball.
4. Chill the dough in the fridge for 30 minutes. (30 min)
5. Mix the icing sugar with the egg white, add the finely chopped almonds, and gradually work into the marzipan until smooth and easy to shape into balls.
6. Roll out the dough to 3 mm and cut circles 8 cm in diameter.
7. Shape the marzipan mixture into round balls, make a small indent in each, fill with nougat, then place the ball on a dough circle, nougat side down.
8. Wet your hands with cold water and bring three edges of the dough up around the balls, pressing them firmly together.
9. Bake in a preheated fan oven at 180°C for 10-12 minutes, or until lightly golden. (11 min)
10. Remove from the oven and let cool on a wire rack.
11. Dip the Napoleon hats in melted dark chocolate before serving.
