Steps:
- Preheat oven to 300 degrees.
- Line a baking sheet with foil and lightly spray with vegetable oil.
- In a large bowl combine sugar and cinnamon.
- In another large bowl beat egg white until slightly frothy. Stir in vanilla and salt.
- Add almonds to egg mixture and toss to coat.
- Then pour almonds into cinnamon sugar mixture and toss to coat.
- Spread sugar coated almonds on lined baking sheet.
- Bake 25 minutes; stir after 10 minutes.
- Let cool and remove from pan with slotted spoon.
Tips:
- For the best results, use a heavy-bottomed saucepan to prevent the sugar from burning.
- Use a candy thermometer to ensure that the sugar syrup reaches the correct temperature (300°F/150°C).
- If you don't have a candy thermometer, you can do a "soft ball test". Drop a small amount of the sugar syrup into a glass of cold water. If it forms a soft ball that can be easily molded with your fingers, it is ready.
- Stir the sugar syrup constantly to prevent it from crystallizing.
- If the sugar syrup starts to crystallize, remove it from the heat and stir in a few drops of lemon juice or vinegar. This will help to dissolve the crystals.
- Once the sugar syrup is ready, remove it from the heat and stir in the almonds. Make sure to coat the almonds evenly.
- Spread the sugared almonds on a parchment paper-lined baking sheet and let them cool completely.
- Once the sugared almonds are cool, store them in an airtight container at room temperature.
