Why this recipe works
Cinnamon almonds with crispy sugar crust
Sugar water never belongs directly in the perforated basket. For burnt almonds a flat, stable metal baking pan is used, which leaves air all around. The syrup is very hot and sticky; therefore, the baking pan is only moved with heat-resistant gloves and the almonds completely cool before trying.
