CARAMELIZED ALMOND WAFERS
Steps:
- Spread the almonds on a sheet pan, and toast them in a 300˚ oven for 15 minutes, or until they are light gold and fragrant.
- Cut sixty wafers from the rice paper with sharp scissors. For square cookies, fold the sheet over at about 2-inch intervals, cut along the folds to make strips, and cut the strips into squares. For round wafers, cut 2-inch circles from each strip.
- Pour the honey and the sugar into the skillet, and set over medium heat. Stir in the cinnamon as the honey melts, and continue stirring as the sugar dissolves and the mixture starts to bubble. Cook at a moderate boil for 5 to 10 minutes, until the mixture has caramelized to a deep golden brown and thickened noticeably.
- Stir in the almonds, heat to bubbling again, and cook for 2 or 3 minutes, until the nuts are hot and thoroughly coated with the caramelized honey. Don't let the syrup or almonds get too dark. Turn off the heat, but leave the filling in the pan.
- Lay out twelve wafers in a line on a cool counter, scoop up some of the hot honey and almonds with a wooden spoon, and drop a small mound on six of the wafers-a rounded teaspoon or more. While the honey is still soft, top each with a second wafer. With a flat board, press down lightly on all at once, flattening and spreading the nut filling. Fill all the wafer sandwiches this way. Whenever the caramel gets too thick to drop, return the pan to low heat and warm the honey until it loosens.
- When the filled wafers are completely cool and the filling is crunchy, enjoy. Store in an airtight container for a week or so.
