The nutty goodness and versatility of almonds make them a favorite ingredient in many of my recipes. They add crunchy texture and a delicious twist to traditional down-home recipes. Plus they taste great on their own as a snack, like in this much-requested recipe. Ingredients:
1/3 cup butter |
2 egg whites |
pinch salt |
1 cup sugar |
4 teaspoons ground cinnamon |
3 cups whole almonds |
Directions:
1. Place butter in a 15-in. x 10-in. x 1-in. baking pan. Bake at 325° until melted, about 5-7 minutes.
2. Meanwhile, in a bowl, beat egg whites with salt until soft peaks form. Gradually add sugar, beating until stiff peaks form. Fold in cinnamon and almonds; pour over butter and toss to coat.
3. Bake at 325° for 40 minutes, turning every 10 minutes, or until almonds are crisp. Yield: 3 cups.
