In memory of Ms Helen Toy who passed away early this year. This is a Christmas tradition in our home. but the technique is not filled in because I’ve never made this or ever watched my mom make it, so this post is a work in progress……
Almond Bristle (as Mom calls it)
- 2 sticks of butter
- 1 cup and while almonds + extra
- 1 cup sugar
Place butter and sugar in a small saucepan and bring to a rolling boil for 3 minutes. The mixture should remaining boiling even if you stir it.
Add almonds and cook for 7 minutes. Note the oil will separate out during this step but will re-incorporate
Pour onto baking sheet and let cool
