Blanched Almonds
 Total Time |
|---|
| 1 minutes |
Ingredients
- some almonds
some boiling water
Cookware
- 1 heat-safe bowl
Instructions
Step 1
Put the almonds in a heat-safe bowl and pour boiling water on top to cover. Let stand for 1 minutes (don't let them soak too long in the hot water or the nuts themselves will soften too much).
Step 2
Drain the almonds and run cold water over them to cool them down.
Step 3
The soaked almonds should now have skins that are loose enough to remove. Working one almond at a time, gently squeeze the nut between your fingers to begin popping it out of the skin, then peel the skin away to remove it fully.
