A ghost of marzipan lingers in the air, drifting from a texture that dissolves like fine, sun-warmed sand. Beneath the surface lies a quiet, buttery heart, anchoring the flour's understated sweetness. It is a humble foundation, waiting to be woven into the delicate architectures of global pastry and traditional spice-laden breads.
