Method
- Line a small tray with wafer paper or oiled baking paper and keep the peanuts warm.
- Beat the egg white with salt to soft peaks in a heatproof bowl.
- Combine sugar, honey, and water in a heavy saucepan.
- Boil without stirring to 125–130°C for a firm chewy nougat.
- With the mixer running on low, pour the syrup in a thin steady stream into the egg white, avoiding the whisk itself.
- Beat until thick and glossy, then fold in the warm peanuts quickly.
- Press into the prepared tray with an oiled spatula and cover with wafer paper if using.
- Cool completely before cutting with an oiled knife.
