Brittle is a sweet that is essentially caramelized sugar and almond flakes.
Ingredients & Kitchen Utensils
- 50g almond flakes
- 150g sugar
- some butter
On kitchen utensils you will need a baking tray, a löcube, a rolling pin, a saucepan, a food grade plastic bag.
Instruction
Almond flakes spread out on a baking sheet (lined with baking paper) in a preheated oven at 180°C for three minutes to roast. Then remove the baking tray from the oven, turn the almond flakes over and roast again for three minutes.
- Place sugar in a saucepan and heat over medium heat, stirring constantly.
- Once the sugar has completely dissolved, remove the saucepan from the heat, stir in the almond flakes and pour onto the baking tray lined with baking paper.
- Once cooled, place the firm mixture in the plastic bag, seal and knock into morsel-sized pieces with the rolling pin.
Notes
- Sugar burns very quickly after it becomes liquid. Therefore, it is important to time it just right.
- Step 3 must be carried out in quick succession to prevent the mixture from burning and solidifying too early!
- The brittle candies can also be dipped in liquid envelope for refinement.
