Re: Praline
I’ve made praline as an ingredient in cakes and pastries once or twice
This seems a familiar method

Are you going to leave it as nut brittle or do something with it?

Re: Praline
I use a slightly different method where some butter (I use ghee) is added.

Making brittle - it's that easy
Decorate cakes, decorate cakes or biscuits or as a sweet topping with a bite on creamy desserts - home-made brittle tastes wonderfully nutty and much better than bought. We'll show you step by step how easy you can make brittle yourself.
Make brittle yourself
These ingredients you need to make the brittle:
75 g of sugar
1 tsp butter
75 g of chopped nuts (such as walnuts, hazelnuts), peanuts, almonds, oatmeal or sunflower seeds
baking paper
Make brittle - step 1:
The butter is added only when the sugar is already liquid - otherwise it burns easily
Add the sugar to a wide pan and let it melt over medium heat. Do not stir, otherwise the sugar will not caramelise evenly. Once everything is liquid stir, add butter and caramelize until lightly brown.
Make brittle - step 2:
Caramelise nuts
Be quick now, otherwise the sugar will go too dark
Quickly add chopped nuts, almonds, oatmeal or sunflower seeds to the pan. Stir briefly until it is covered in caramel.
Make brittle - step 3:
Roll out the brittle
As long as the mix is warm, it can be rolled out easily
Put the caramel mass on a piece of baking paper and spread as flat as possible with a spoon. Put another piece of baking paper on the caramel mass and roll out everything flat with a rolling pin, as long as the caramel is not quite firm.
Make brittle - step 4:
Chopping brittle
By rolling out the brittle can now chop it into small pieces.
Depending on the consistency, use the cooled caramel plate with a knife with an oiled blade or with your hands to the desired size.
Helpful tips to make the brittle
To stir the caramel, a wooden spoon is best. It does not conduct the heat and can not melt even at high temperatures.
Make sure that the caramel is not too dark, otherwise it will taste bitter!
Packed airtight, the homemade brittle remains crispy longer. This can be done, for example, in a screw jar, which you place in a cool and dry place.
Homemade brittle can be kept for several weeks.
