How do you make double delight with cashew nuts?
Beat six eggs till they are light and frothy, add 100 gms butter, pinch of cardamom and cocoa. Add cashews bake it.
Can you substitute solo almond paste for solo almond filling?
No. Almond Paste is a very thick paste made of almonds, sugar and some almond extract. Almond Filling is looser, more like cake frosting/filling. If you substitute, you'll not get the same results. There is more sugar in Filling, too, about 25% more and it will over-sweeten your recipes. Spend the extra money on something you'll probably only make once a year, like Christmas cookies. Recipes are pretty exacting, and replacing paste with filling will lead to a baking disaster.
If the ratio of cashews to total nuts is 16 to 50, and there are only cashews and peanuts in the bag, then the ratio of peanuts to total nuts is the number of total nuts minus the number of cashew nuts, or
50 - 16 = 34 to 50
To find the percentage of peanuts, divide the number of peanuts by the total number of nuts and multiply that number by 100 to obtain
(34/50) x 100% = 68%
Note: Depending upon how sly your teacher is, this is a "trick question" because neither cashews nor peanuts are actually "nuts". Peanuts are legumes and cashews are seeds. Therefore, the answer might be: "None of the nuts are peanuts, because peanuts are legumes, like peas or beans, not nuts."
