I love cake and sweetie things and the one thing I am still trying to find, is pastry! I have made my own to my disappointment. Recently I found Tesco’s frozen Free From pastry, it didn’t work out the first time – If I have the patience - I have a busy weekend coming up! I will have another go next week.
However here is one of my recent try outs:
Florentines
Preparation Time: Cooking Time: Oven Temperature:
20 Min. 8 - 10 Min. 180C,350F,Gas 4
Ingredients:
75g/3oz butter
75g/3oz golden syrup
25g/1oz gram flour
75g/3oz flaked almonds, coarsely chopped
25g/1oz mixed peel
50g/2oz glace cherries, coarsely chopped
1 teaspoon lemon juice
Recipe Instructions:
Melt the butter and syrup in a small pan, then stir in the flour, almonds, mixed peel, cherries and lemon juice.
Place teaspoons of the mixture well apart on baking trays lined with baking parchment. Flatten with a fork and bake in a preheated oven for 8-10 minutes.
Transfer to a wire rack to cool. Melt the chocolate in a bowl over a pan of hot water, then spread over the flat underside of each Florentine.
Place the biscuits chocolate side up on a wire rack and mark the chocolate into wavy lines with a fork.
Leave until set.
Tip: Use the best quality chocolate if possible. Take care not to let the chocolate get to hot as this will make it lose its glossy finish.
Enjoy!
I made this for my family and it was very nice,i will be having this again soon
