Method

  • step 1

    Heat oven to 180C/160C/gas 4. Line two baking sheets with baking parchment.
    Melt the butter, sugar and golden syrup in a small saucepan over a low heat, stirring frequently. Remove from the heat and whisk in the flour then add the cherries, flaked almonds, pistachios and orange zest.

  • step 2

    Scoop 10 flat tbsp of the mixture onto the baking sheets, leaving room for them to spread. You will need to do these in batches. Bake for 10 mins until golden. Leave to cool for 2 mins until firm enough to lift onto a wire rack. Cool completely. Repeat with the remaining mixture.

  • step 3

    Melt the chocolate in a bowl over a simmering saucepan of water or in the microwave in 30 second bursts. Turn the florentines over on the wire rack. Spoon chocolate onto the base of each florentine and gently spread to the edges. When the chocolate is firm enough to hold its shape, use a fork to draw wavy lines across the chocolate. Leave to set and then store in an airtight container.

The one thing I did different was add the nuts…

Oops a daisy

Although the finished florentine tastes nice, I personally wished it had told you to chop the nuts and cherries prior to stage 1, as my melted ingredient with the flour was hardening as I was chopping and then found it really hard mixing them in. Definitely doesn’t make ten and thank you for the…

Hi, it clearly states in the ingredients 'chopped' and says to do them in 'batches' on 10 as it makes 20 an not everyone has 2 treys. Read through everything with your ingredients out, prior to starting.

5 stars for flavour. Amazing and foolproof. Unfortunately the quantities are off. I managed to get 6 tbs out of this recipe and I think that tablespoon per florentine is too large. So either you get 6ish large florentines or use half a tbs and get more florentines but smaller ones (which is what I…
