by Amazon Blanched Sliced Almonds, 200g, Pack of 5

Product Information

The size of the eggs doesn’t matter too much (I always use medium) but just be sure you’re using free-range eggs. How much water you need depends on the flour, so we suggest starting with 2-3 tablespoons and then adding more as needed. Finished with some crispy flaked almonds, which catch just a little bit of colour and extra flavour as the Almond Slice bakes. We recommend that you do not rely solely on the information presented here and that you always read labels, warnings, and directions before using or consuming a product.

Try stirring a few through a rice pilaf, or dry fry a handful as a delicious garnish for fish dishes. Additionally, they can be incorporated into recipes, such as granola, cookies, and breads, providing a delightful crunch and visual appeal. Some believe butter gives a better flavour to a cake, but margarine does make a better textured and more predictable sponge.The pastry has enough butter not to stick but you want to ensure the sides of the sponge don’t stick. They have a best-by date on the package, but that's more of a guideline for peak freshness, rather than an indicator of when the nuts will become inedible. The reason is that although a slice of almond sponge topped with toasted almonds is lovely, adding a jam layer and pastry bottom gives it something extra that’ll keep you going back for more.

Almond slivers are also surprisingly delicious with savory dishes, in salads or paired with chicken and orange dishes. Make sure to package them properly in freezer-safe bags or containers to prevent them from absorbing odors from the freezer. While iHerb strives to ensure the accuracy of its product images and information, some manufacturing changes to packaging and/or ingredients may be pending update on our site. Although our warehouse is fully air-conditioned, these more fragile items are put in cold storage (freezer or refrigeration unit) for maximum freshness. The almond pieces can also be lightly toasted under the grill/in an oven or gently dry roasted in a non-stick frying pan.

You may not need all the water, or you may need a little extra - this can even vary from batch-to-batch. These thin and crispy almond slices are an ideal ingredient in all sorts of sweet and savory recipes. Once opened, the almonds should be consumed within two to three months for optimal taste, assuming proper storage conditions. By making our packaging more robust, we have succeeded in significantly reducing the amount of damages during transit.
