Instructions
- Thread the walnut kernels onto a sturdy string, spacing them about 1 cm apart, to form strings 25 to 30 cm long.
- In a saucepan, mix the flour into a little cold must to avoid lumps, then add the rest of the must and the sugar.
- Heat gently, stirring constantly, until you have a smooth, thick cream, without letting it boil hard. Let it cool slightly.
- Dip each string of walnuts into the mixture, turning it to coat well, then hang it to drain.
- Repeat 4 to 5 times, letting it dry between each dipping, until the coating is thick.
- Hang the strings to dry in a well-ventilated place, out of the sun, for 3 to 4 days, until they feel firm.
Variations and tips
