It is something I wanted to try for some time so watching a <a href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=TN5I1qlvBVo\">video<\/a> I decided to try one of them, turr\u00f3n blando, based on this <a href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=ZIGjMSTIN9A\">video<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The thing I like from turron, it is a simple recipe and super tasty. It is very common for Christmas but I have seen posh version of turr\u00f3n that I think kill the idea of it.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Ingredients:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\"><li>300gr ground almonds<\/li><li>200gr honey<\/li><li>100gr sugar<\/li><li>1 egg white<\/li><li>1 tsp cinnamon<\/li><li>1 lemon zest<\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>Process:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\"><li>In a frying pan, heat up the honey and sugar.<\/li><li>whisk the egg white to stiff peaks<\/li><li>Add the lemon zest the sugar\/honey mix. <\/li><li>Once the honey mix is boiling, remove from the heat and add the egg whites bit a bit. Mix until no lumps. Do this at low heat. The more time you spend mixing with heat, the harder will get the turron.<\/li><li>Then add the cinnamon and the almonds bit a bit until all combined.<\/li><li>Add the mix to a container and let it cool down at room temperature.<\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>To be honest, the result from the first video looked more like the real thing. My result is still tasty but looks more like a fudge that the typical turr\u00f3n blando. So I will try the first video recipe next time.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full is-resized\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/blog.thomarite.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/12\/Screenshot-from-2021-12-12-18-54-06.png\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-810\" width=\"466\" height=\"564\" srcset=\"https:\/\/blog.thomarite.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/12\/Screenshot-from-2021-12-12-18-54-06.png 578w, https:\/\/blog.thomarite.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/12\/Screenshot-from-2021-12-12-18-54-06-248x300.png 248w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 466px) 85vw, 466px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>But the thing that  most surprised from the video I followed is, it has been the easiest time I had done stiff peaks with egg whites. By hand. Normally, it is hard work, I got tired and sweaty but I was surprised how easy he did it in the video. I follow the same process. Egg at room temperature, use a crystal bowl (plus a bit of salt) and then use the whisker left to right. No circles. I was shocked how fast it was.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>And as well, I have never done mazap\u00e1n, but it is something I want to try at some point too. It looks even easier than turr\u00f3n.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>I dont really like Christmas but the few things I enjoy it is the typical sweets like turr\u00f3n.
