Instructions

Step 1

Melt butter over very low heat until almost all the sizzling noises have stopped and white foam appears on the top. Pour the clear yellow butter through a tea strainer, and discard the solids. Set aside.

Step 2

Preheat oven to 375°. Bring a large pot of water to a boil. Drop in almonds and cook for 1 minute. Drain. Squeeze almonds out of their skins (this is painstaking work), then place them in a single layer on a cookie sheet.

Step 3

Drizzle with clarified butter. Bake until lightly roasted, 10–15 minutes. Sprinkle with salt and serve.
