Time enhances the sweetness of this timeless recipe.
Ingredients:
50g butter
55g brown sugar
13.40 gm golden syrup
Pinch of ground ginger
40g plain flour
50g almond
50g glace cherry
20.00 ml mixed peel, finely chopped
100g dark chocolate, melted
Instructions:
Preheat your oven to 180°C and line an oven tray with baking paper. In a small saucepan over medium heat, combine butter, sugar, golden syrup, and ginger. Stir for 1-2 minutes until the butter melts and the mixture is well combined. Remove from heat, then mix in the flour, almonds, cherries, and mixed peel until fully combined.
Use a teaspoon to portion out 1 teaspoon of the mixture onto the tray, then delicately spread it to a 3cm diameter. Repeat this process with 3 more teaspoons, leaving space between each. Bake in the oven for 8-10 minutes. Let it sit for 2 minutes to firm up before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely.
Continue the process six more times with the remaining mixture. Use a round-bladed knife or small palette knife to spread a bit of the melted chocolate over the bottom of each florentine. Allow them to rest until the chocolate sets.
