I INVENTED THIS PARFAIT AS A STYLISH SLANT ON A PEANUT BUTTER AND JAM SANDWICH FIVE YEARS AGO AND IT SOON BECAME A FIRM FAVOURITE AT THE RESTAURANT. THIS IS A SIMPLIFIED VERSION FOR THE HOME COOK.
For the bricelet, put the butter, cream, sugar and liquid glucose into a large saucepan over a medium heat and stir until melted. Take off the heat and stir in the almonds. Turn onto a baking sheet lined with baking parchment, cover with another sheet of parchment and roll out to a thin layer. Chill for 20 minutes or so.
