So, we are going to make marzipan
and
I am going through this stuff quick
What we need.
So, we need a pot
where we heat up some water
we need a measuring cup
this old container
where there was ice cream in there
we need almond extract
then
over here
either rose water or bourbon
I used Kentucky bourbon
this was here Woodford Reserve
that is what i like the best
we have almonds
we have powdered sugar
and we need uh...
food processor
i have
an eleven cup
food processor
and with those things we start
first of all we heat up some water
a little too much
we gonna put this on high here
so that i can boil the water
this is on
and in the meantime we gonna go and prepare the almonds
so, i take one of my measuring cups
that's what i have them for
then i pour in my almonds
at the same time i can start filling up
my second cup
powdered sugar
now, people will ask
how much do you actually need?
how many pounds or grams or ounces
it doesn't matter
the important part is
you want to have the same volume amount
of both
the second the water is hot
as you can see here that water is boiling
so we turn this off
and move this out of the way for a second
we don't want the water boiling
less than boil
let's get the lid out of the way
and then basically what we gonna do is, we throw the almonds in here
dog barks in background
ok
i leave that in there for a minute
drain, but don't let it dry!
Peel fast! CAUTION! It is hot!!!
this is a very sharp blade
small dog barking in background
both dogs barking in background
Now we add almond extract
add powdered sugar
keep mixing
add either rose water ...
or better bourbon !!!
keep mixing until it has the consistency of marzipan
check consistency
