Gebrannte Mandeln

Cinnamon-sugar roasted almonds found at virtually every Christmas market in Germany and Austria.

Yield: 300 grams
Time: 30 minutes

200 g sugar
ΒΌ tsp vanilla
100 ml water
200 g almonds (raw, shelled)
1 tsp cinnamon, ground
butter, as needed

Directions

Bring sugar, cinnamon, vanilla sugar and water to a boil. Add almonds and stir in. Cook until the sugar becomes dry, stirring continually.
