Blanched Almonds

🥘 Ingredients

• almonds
• boiling water

1. 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).
2. 2

   Drain the almonds and run cold water over them to cool them down.
3. 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.
