Almond Antique Brittle
- 1 1/4 cups slivered almonds, divided
- Cooking spray
- 2 1/4 cups sugar
- 1/2 cup whole milk
- 1/2 cup heavy cream
- 1/2 cup white vinegar
- 1/4 cup unsalted butter
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- Preheat oven to 350u0b0.
- Spread almonds in a single layer on a baking sheet. Bake at 350u0b0 for 10 minutes or until lightly browned and fragrant. Cool completely. Measure out 1/4 cup almonds; finely chop.
- Cover a baking sheet with parchment paper. Lightly coat paper with cooking spray. Set aside.
- Place sugar and remaining ingredients in a large saucepan over medium-high heat; bring to a boil, stirring constantly. Cook 20 minutes or until a candy thermometer registers 310u0b0, stirring constantly. Stir in 1 cup almonds; cook an additional 1 minute, stirring constantly. Quickly pour mixture onto prepared parchment paper, spreading to about 1/8-inch thickness. Sprinkle chopped almonds over brittle, lightly pressing to adhere. Cool completely (about 2 hours); break into pieces.
- Bake a Second Batch
- Because the sugar syrup needs to be handled quickly, it's best not to double the amounts in this -recipe. Instead, complete one batch -before making the next.
