Time 25m

Yield Two cups

Number Of Ingredients 4

1 cup sugar
1/4 cup water
3/4 cup whole blanched almonds
1 tablespoon corn, peanut or other unflavored vegetable oil

Steps:

  • Combine the sugar and water in a saucepan and bring to the boil. Cook over moderatly high heat for five minutes.
  • Stir in the almonds and continue cooking, stirring almost constantly with a wire whisk. The syrup will become granular for a brief time. Continue cooking for a total of about five minutes or until the syrup becomes a dark caramel color.
  • Meanwhile, brush a cold flat surface (preferably marble or glass, not wood) with oil and wipe with a paper towel to leave a light film of oil. Pour the caramelized almonds onto the surface. Let stand until thoroughly cold. The praline may be cracked and eaten at this point. Or it may be pulverized.
  • Break up the caramelized almonds into pieces. Pulverize the pieces. This may be done two ways, using a rolling pin (which is more traditional) or a food processor. If you use a food processor, a little oil might come out of the almonds.

I'm allergic to pecans, so I used walnuts instead. The pralines turned out great!

These pralines are a bit too sweet for my taste, but they're still good.

I followed the recipe exactly, but my pralines turned out too hard. I'm not sure what I did wrong.
