Ingredients:
1 cup (250 g) granulated sugar
1/2 cup (125 g) round or sliced almonds
1/2 cup water
4 Tbsp white vinegar
Directions:
Grease a cake pan and a sheet of greaseproof paper.
Prepare a caramel: Pour the sugar, water and white vinegar in a skillet.
Cook on stove while stirring regularly.
The mixture will foam and little by little reach its brown color.
When the caramel is ready add the almonds.
Work well with a wooden spatula to combine the almonds fully.
Pour on the greased cake pan and cover with the greaseproof paper.
With a rolling pin, stretch the dough to the desired thickness.
You must work fast before it gets hard.
Be CAREFUL! the dough is really HOT!
With a mincing knife give the nougatine the shape you wish.
Enjoy it (when cold) like a delicacy or use it to decorate cakes.
Bon Appétit!
