    Beat the egg whites with an electric mixer until soft peaks start forming.
    Add the castor sugar gradually while mixing.
    Keep beating mixture until it is thick and glossy and the sugar is dissolved. Beat in the vanilla extract.

Almond and Honey Brittle Ingredients 1/4 cup almond oil 4 cups sliced blanched almonds 2 cups sugar 1 cup honey 1/4 cup water Method Preheat the oven to 204C.
