How To Make burned almonds (sugar coated)
-
Step 1In a sauté skillet pour the sugar and water after mixing add the almonds.
-
Step 2On max. heat keep stirring - but be very careful the sugar will get very hot. After a while the water evaporats and stirring will become a little more heavy.
-
Step 3Keep going until you hear a cracking sound from the almonds... it is very distinct, you'll know it when you hear it... Keep sirring for an additional 2 minutes and put on a waxed cookie sheet. Separate with a wooden spatular. Cool and store in an airtight container.
