An oven-baked snack made with sliced almonds for a nutty flavor and crisp texture. The key is adding melted, boiling butter to the batter for a nice sheen and spreading it thin before baking. Let them cool completely after baking to enjoy them at their crispiest.

9. Bake in an oven preheated to 160°C for 15 minutes until golden brown.

Once they cool, it is difficult to shape them, so you must work quickly before they cool down.
They need to cool completely to become crispy jeonbyeong.
A few bubbles formed when making the batter, so I see some air pockets on the surface.
To get a smooth surface, it is important to mix without creating foam.
The surface of the crisps looks so smooth and glossy.
That is because boiled butter was added to the batter.
Almond jeonbyeong is so nutty and wonderful.

FAQ
Can I use cooking oil instead of butter?
You can substitute it with oils like grapeseed oil, olive oil, or corn oil. It will be slightly less crispy than with butter, but it will turn out with a pleasant crunchy bite.
How do I bake them with a smooth and glossy surface?
Stir gently when mixing the egg and sugar so that no foam forms, and add butter brought to a boil in the microwave into the batter to give the surface a nice sheen.
How do you make the characteristic curved shape of jeonbyeong?
As soon as you take them out of the oven while they are still hot, drape them over a rolling pin to set the shape, then let them cool. Once they cool down, they harden and are difficult to shape.
Can I use other ingredients instead of sliced almonds?
You can add coarsely ground peanuts or walnuts, or use toasted sesame seeds, black sesame seeds, or dried seaweed flakes.
