This is probably one of the more unusual techniques to candy nuts you will see, but it works really well - the nuts resist clumping together and come out very glossy. You may want to fry the nuts in a pot rather than a deep fryer - the icing sugar can be a bit of a pain to clean out of the bottom of a fryer.
You will need:
nuts
icing sugar and a sifter
oil to fry and a spider to lift the nuts out
blanching water
salt
Method:
- get a pot of water on to boil and add some salt
- get a pot of oil on and get it to 325F / 163C
- blanch the nuts in the water for 5 minutes
- transfer the nuts to a bowl
- start sifting in the icing sugar while the nuts are still moist
- add icing sugar and toss until a nice clear glaze has formed on the nuts
- fry in the oil until golden brown
- use the spider to take the nuts out of the oil and drain on paper towel
- cool completely
- store in an airtight container
