A moist candy to be sliced, wrapped in wax tissue paper.

4 tablespoons strained honey.

2 ounces almonds, blanched.

1 pound flour of sugar,or icing sugar.

Make the honey hot without boiling, stir in the sugar a little at a time until it becomes too firm, then turn out on the table and knead in more sugar and also the almonds, which must be dry. When the nougat is firm enough to keep its form in a square bar like a brick split length-wise, sugar the outside, roll it in wax paper and keep it a day before slicing it up for sale. Wrap the little cuts likewise in wax paper.
