1/4 lb butter (less 2 Tbsp), melted
1/2 c. sugar
4 oz almonds, blanched and cut up
dash cinnamon
2 tsp. water
1/4 tsp vanilla
Melt all ingredients (except vanilla) together in a small frying pan. Stir
constantly until nuts are brown and candy falls from side of pan. Stir in
vanilla and pour in refrigerator pan for thick brittle, or 8x8" pan for
thin.
This is my mother's recipe. Remember refrigerator pans? They're really the
bottom part of ice cube trays (before plastic) with the dividers removed.
