Florentines, or near enough
I chose the recipe by Trish Deseine, well known to chocolate addicts. In her book Je veux du chocolat (“I Want Chocolate”)!, she gives a recipe for “florentines (well, almost)”. Having strayed from that recipe, I suppose I’ve drifted even further from the original…
Anyway, I think they’re very good, since I make them every year ^^.
Preparation
-
Step 1
Heat the butter, the sugar and the honey in a pan.
Gather the dried fruit and nuts in a bowl.
-
Step 2
Off the heat, add the raisins, the candied fruit and the almonds, mixed beforehand with the flour
-
Step 3
Preheat the oven to 180°C.
Make little mounds on a tray lined with a silicone sheet or buttered baking parchment.
Bake for 18 minutes.
Let cool.
-
Step 4
Melt the chocolate, cut into pieces, in the microwave for 4 minutes (450 W or defrost setting).
With a spoon, stir it a little so it’s nicely smooth.
Dip the underside of the florentines in it and put them back on the tray to set (chocolate side up).
