½ cup light corn syrup

¼ cup water

2 large egg whites

1 teaspoon vanilla extract

1 ½ cups toasted almonds or pistachios

¼ teaspoon salt

Edible wafer paper (optional)


Instructions:

Step 1: Prepare the Ingredients

Line a baking dish with parchment paper or edible wafer paper.

Toast the nuts if they aren’t already toasted.

In a saucepan, combine sugar, honey, corn syrup, and water.

Heat over medium heat until the mixture reaches 300°F (150°C) on a candy thermometer.

While the syrup is heating, beat the egg whites until stiff peaks form.

Once the syrup reaches the right temperature, slowly drizzle it into the egg whites while continuing to beat.

Step 4: Add Flavor and Nuts

Mix in vanilla extract and salt.

Gently fold in the toasted nuts.

Pour the mixture into the prepared dish and smooth the top.

Once firm, cut into small squares or bars.

Wrap in parchment paper or store in an airtight container.


Tips for Perfect Nougat:

Use a candy thermometer for accuracy.

Keep the nougat away from humidity to prevent it from becoming too sticky.

Experiment with different nuts or dried fruits for variety.

Enjoy this homemade nougat as a delightful snack or a thoughtful homemade gift!
