Biscuit Florentines - Bakers

INGREDIENTS (Makes about 24)
100 g butter
125 ml soft brown sugar
65 ml honey
125 ml flaked almonds
65 ml finely chopped glacé cherries
65 ml mixed peel
45 ml flour sifted
200 ml BAKERS Nuttikrust® biscuits, made into fine crumbs
200 g melted milk chocolate (optional)
METHOD
- Pre-heat oven to 180 oC.
- Process the BAKERS Nuttikrust® biscuits in a food processor to make 200 ml of crumbs.
- Melt the butter and add the sugar and honey. Stir until combined then add the almonds, cherries, mixed peel, flour and BAKERS Nuttikrust®biscuit crumbs.
- Spoon small dessert spoonfuls of the mixture onto non-stick baking sheets, spacing them well apart. Flatten and shape the Florentines into neat disks.
- Place on the middle rack of the oven and bake for 5 – 6 minutes or until lightly browned. Remove from oven, allow to cool slightly in the trays then loosen with a spatula or palette knife and transfer to a rack to cool completely.
- If using chocolate, then simply spread the cooled Florentines with melted chocolate and make a wavy pattern in the chocolate with a fork. Allow chocolate to firm completely before serving.
