Retail – East End FLAKED ALMONDS 300g

Description

East End Flaked Almonds 300 g: a home sized pack of delicate flakes for baking and desserts

Flaked almonds are almonds sliced into fine, light shavings that crisp up beautifully once toasted. This 300 g size is a single retail pack, a comfortable amount for home baking and everyday desserts without buying a large bag. East End flakes have a mild, sweet flavour that lends both flavour and a neat finish to sweet and savoury cooking.

Key Features

• Fine almond flakes that toast to a light, golden crunch
• Gentle, sweet nuttiness suited to cakes, biscuits and puddings
• A traditional topping for trifles, tarts, porridge and salads
• Also stirred through curries, pilaus and festive rice dishes
• Sensible 300 g pack for regular home baking

Cooking and Uses: Toast the flakes for a minute or two in a dry pan or a low oven until pale gold, then scatter over desserts, salads and breakfast bowls. Fold them into cake batters and flapjacks, or use them to finish a korma or biryani. They brown fast, so stay close and lift them off the heat the moment they colour. Storage: store in a cool, dry cupboard in a sealed container away from strong smells, and use within the date on the pack. Allergens: almonds are a tree nut and a named allergen. The product may also be handled where other nuts, sesame and further allergens are present. For full allergen and dietary information, always refer to the product packaging.
