ALMOND DING



Almond Ding image

It was the name of this candy that first won me over, but it's the taste of this easy-to-make treat that continues to make me smile. Both novice and intrepid candy makers will be happy because this simple confection doesn't require a candy thermometer or any fancy equipment and it can be made in minutes. Serve pieces of almond ding as part of a cookie or candy plate, chop it into bits and fold them into just-churned ice cream, or offer some alongside a favorite sorbet. (It goes particularly well with Simple Cherry Sorbet, page 165.) Be sure to use flaky sea salt which will provide dramatic bits of salty sparks when you crunch into the buttery caramelized almonds. This recipe is from Cindy Pawlcyn, chef-owner of Mustard's Grill in the Napa Valley.

Yield makes 3/4 pound (350 g), 20 to 25 pieces

Number Of Ingredients 4

1 cup (125 g) blanched almonds (see Tips)
1/2 cup (100 g) sugar
2 tablespoons (1 ounce/30 g) unsalted or salted butter, cut into pieces
1/4 teaspoon flaky sea salt

Steps:

  • Lightly oil a baking sheet with nonstick spray or line it with a silicone baking mat.
  • In a medium saucepan or skillet, combine the almonds, sugar, and butter. Cook over medium heat, stirring ever so gently as the mixture begins to darken (vigorous stirring encourages crystallization). Continue to cook, stirring gently, until the mixture is deep amber in color (similar to a cup of coffee with a touch of cream). Gently stir in the salt, then pour the mixture out onto the prepared baking sheet. Avoiding spreading out the almonds except to ensure that they're in a single layer. Using a heatproof spatula, push any spreading caramel back toward the almonds. Let cool completely.
  • Once cooled, break into bite-size pieces.
  • The candy pieces will keep in an airtight container for up to 1 week.
  • It's important to use blanched almonds for this recipe. Almond skins make it difficult for the syrup to permeate the nuts and your ding won't be as crunchy.
  • I recommend using a very delicate but flavorful sea salt, such as fleur de sel or Maldon Sea Salt (see Resources, page 270).

Almond ding is a popular snack and dessert in many Asian countries, especially in China. It is made with sliced almonds, flour, sugar, and egg whites. The dish has a crispy and fluffy texture and a nutty flavor. Almond ding can be decorated with different toppings or served plain. Here are some valuable tips to consider when making almond ding recipes.

1. Use top-quality almonds

The main ingredient of almond ding is almonds, so it is important to use high-quality nuts. Look for almonds that are fresh, plump, and have a smooth surface. Avoid using almonds that have a rancid smell or taste. You can buy whole or sliced almonds, but it is recommended to use sliced almonds for almond ding.

2. Use finely ground flour

The flour is another important ingredient in almond ding. It is recommended to use finely ground flour, such as cake flour or all-purpose flour. Avoid using coarse or whole wheat flour, as it may result in a dense and heavy texture. Sift the flour before using it to remove any lumps.

3. Whip the egg whites properly

The egg whites are what give almond ding its light and airy texture. It is essential to whip the egg whites properly to achieve this result. Make sure that the bowl and whisk you are using are clean and dry, as any trace of grease or water can prevent the egg whites from whipping properly. Whip the egg whites until they form stiff peaks but are still glossy and smooth.

4. Fold the ingredients gently

When combining the dry ingredients with the whipped egg whites, it is important to fold them in gently. This helps to retain the airiness of the egg whites and prevent the batter from becoming too dense. Use a spatula to fold the ingredients in a circular motion, making sure to scrape the bottom of the bowl.

5. Bake at the right temperature

Almond ding should be baked at a low temperature, around 150-160°C (300-325°F), for a longer period of time, usually around 25-30 minutes. This slow baking process helps to dry out the almonds and create a crispy exterior while maintaining a soft and fluffy interior. Avoid baking almond ding at a high temperature, as it can result in a burnt or unevenly cooked texture.

6. Use parchment paper

To prevent almond ding from sticking to the baking tray, it is recommended to use parchment paper. Cut the parchment paper to fit the size of the tray and place it on top before adding the batter. This also makes it easier to remove the almond ding from the tray once it is baked.

7. Decorate with toppings

Almond ding can be decorated with different toppings to add flavor and texture. Some popular toppings include sesame seeds, chopped nuts, and chocolate chips. Sprinkle the toppings on top of the batter before baking, or drizzle some melted chocolate over the almond ding once it is baked and cooled.

8. Store properly

Almond ding can be stored in an airtight container at room temperature for up to one week. Make sure to let the almond ding cool completely before storing it to prevent condensation from forming inside the container. Almond ding can also be frozen for up to one month. Wrap the almond ding in plastic wrap and store it in a freezer bag.

Conclusion

Almond ding is a delicious and easy-to-make snack or dessert that is loved by many. With these valuable tips, you can create the perfect almond ding every time. Remember to use high-quality almonds and flour, whip the egg whites properly, fold the ingredients gently, bake at the right temperature, use parchment paper, decorate with toppings, and store properly. Enjoy your homemade almond ding!
