Ingredients
- 100 gram Almonds
- 100 gram Sugar
- 60 gram Water
- Possibly. 1 tsp vanilla sugar and 1 tsp cinnamon
Instructions
- Measure everything into a large pan and turn on medium-high heat.
- Stir the mixture - it forms a syrup and boils here.
- The sugar crystallizes and becomes hard.
- Scrape the hard sugar loose while you constantly stir the almonds.
- Continue to stir until the sugar caramelizes lightly around the almonds with a slightly shiny surface.
- Take the almonds off the heat and onto a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.
- Spread the almonds so they don't stick together.
- Let them cool before pouring them into a tin, jar, or eating them!
- It requires patience - and just when you think they have become ugly and white, you must keep your patience and let them caramelize further!
