- Preparation: 10 min
- Cooking: 25 min
- Makes: 1 serving (65 g)
- Difficulty: Medium
- Diets: Vegan, Gluten-free, Dairy-free
- Contains: nut
Ingredients
- 20 g Almonds
- 30 g Sugar
- 15 g Water
Method
- Toast the almonds lightly in a dry pan, then set aside to cool.
- Dissolve the sugar in the water in a pan and bring to a boil, cooking to a thick, slightly sticky syrup, about 110°C (225°F).
- Add the almonds and stir continuously over low heat until the syrup dries out and coats the almonds in a rough, white, sugary layer; this takes patience, stirring constantly for 15-20 minutes as the sugar crystallizes onto the nuts.
- Spread on a tray to cool and harden completely before serving.
- Makes 1 portion; multiply the ingredients by 6 for a full batch.
