Baked Almonds

1. Cut blanched almonds into thin 'slivers' using a very sharp small bladed knife or a safety razor.

2. Place on a baking tray and bake in the oven at 180°C (350°F, Gas Mark 4) for a few minutes, turning occasionally, until evenly golden.

3. Allow to cool and then sprinkle on top of your cake.
