In another saucepan, melt the honey (unless it has a very liquid honey). Stir in honey syrup and stir. Put the pan on the stove over low heat and continue cooking, stirring constantly. Beat the egg whites until stiff. Gently mix the syrup and add the almonds. Line a square pan with parchment paper. Pour the syrup over a thickness of 1.5 cm.
