作り方

手順

1. 1

   Preheat your oven to 160°C (325°F).

   約5 分

2. 2

   Spread the almonds in a single layer on a baking sheet.

   約1 分

3. 3

   Toast the almonds in the preheated oven for 8-10 minutes, or until lightly golden and fragrant. Let them cool completely.

   約10 分

   調理のヒント： Cooling the almonds helps them retain their crunch in the turrón.

4. 4

   In a heavy-bottomed saucepan, combine the honey and granulated sugar.

   約1 分

5. 5

   Heat the mixture over medium-low heat, stirring occasionally, until the sugar dissolves and the mixture begins to simmer.

   約5 分

   調理のヒント： Do not stir vigorously once simmering to avoid crystallization.

6. 6

   Continue to cook, without stirring, until the syrup reaches 140°C (285°F) on a candy thermometer.

   約15 分

   調理のヒント： Accurate temperature is crucial for the nougat's texture.

7. 7

   While the syrup is cooking, in a separate, clean bowl, whisk the egg whites with the pinch of salt until stiff peaks form.

   約5 分

   調理のヒント： Ensure the bowl and whisk are completely grease-free for best results.

8. 8

   Once the syrup reaches the correct temperature, slowly pour the hot syrup in a thin stream into the whipped egg whites, while continuously whisking on medium-high speed.

   約3 分

   調理のヒント： Pour slowly down the side of the bowl to avoid splatters and cook the egg whites evenly.

9. 9

   Continue whisking until the mixture is very thick, glossy, and has cooled down significantly, about 10-15 minutes.

   約15 分

   調理のヒント： The mixture should be firm enough to hold its shape.

10. 10

    Gently fold in the cooled toasted almonds until evenly distributed.

11. 11

    Line a rectangular mold (approximately 20x10 cm or 8x4 inches) with one piece of wafer paper.

    約1 分

12. 12

    Spoon the turrón mixture into the prepared mold, pressing it down firmly and evenly with a spatula.

    約2 分

    調理のヒント： Use slightly wet hands or a greased spatula to prevent sticking.

13. 13

    Place the second piece of wafer paper on top of the turrón, pressing it gently to adhere.

    約1 分

14. 14

    Cover the mold and let the turrón set at room temperature for at least 2 hours, or until completely firm.

    約2 時間

    調理のヒント： For faster setting, you can place it in the refrigerator.

15. 15

    Once set, carefully remove the turrón from the mold and cut it into desired pieces using a sharp, lightly oiled knife.
