I'm cooking this todayRecipe's preparation
Pre-heat oven to 160-180°C.
Place pecans/almonds into TM bowl and mill for 10 seconds on speed 9. Set aside.
Place butter into TM bowl and melt for 2 mins at 60°C on speed 2. Butter may not be completely melted which is fine.
Place remaining ingredients, including the milled pecans/almonds, into TM bowl.
Set dial to
"Closed lid" and knead for 40 seconds on 
"Dough mode" to form a dough.With approximately a teaspoon of mixture, roll a ball and then shape like a small brick.
Place on a lined baking tray and bake for 15-20 minutes or until lightly golden.
Remove from oven and immediately roll in additional icing sugar. Place on a cooling rack.
Once cool, roll in icing sugar again.
Tip
This recipe works best using Icing Mixture versus Pure Icing Sugar because the presence of tapioca or maize starch helps to stabilise the dough. Also, Icing Mixture has a finer consistency and gives a better result when rolling the hot Mexican Wedding Cakes straight from the oven.

Thanks for the recipe. This is really fortunate for me. We have planned our wedding next month. These are very big troubles. It cost me a lot of nerves to choose my wedding ring. We found it only in the online catalog here - https://www.foreveryours.com.au/engagement-rings/three-stones.html I have no energy left to search for recipes so I'll take it from here. My future mother-in-law has Mexican roots. I think she will love our sweet surprise. Has anyone already tried this at their wedding?
These worked very well, even in my dodgy gas oven. Delicious little cakes.
There is no way I could roll these in the icing mixture when straight out of the oven, they just fell apart. I let them cool on the tray and then moved them onto a serving platter and just sifted some icing suger over them and they were great.
