To get started with this recipe, we have to first prepare a few components. You can cook florentine biscuits using 14 ingredients and 14 steps. Here is how you can achieve it.
The ingredients needed to make Florentine Biscuits:
- Prepare Sablé dough
- Make ready 220 g cake flour
- Take 150 g unsalted butter
- Get 100 g caster sugar
- Get 1 egg
- Make ready 20 g almond powder

Line three baking trays with baking parchment or silicon sheets. Measure the butter, sugar and syrup into a small pan and heat gently until the butter is. Florentine cookies are thin, crispy cookies made from a base of nuts (usually almonds or hazelnuts), fruits such as cherries and citrus, melted butter, and cream to create a candy-like base that's then baked. Once cool, Florentines are dipped or drizzled with melted chocolate for a finishing touch.
Steps to make Florentine Biscuits:
- Make sure all ingredients are at room temperature before starting. Sift the cake flour and the caster sugar separately.
- In a bowl, knead the butter until softened. Then, combine the caster sugar.
- Next, whisk the egg and divide into 3 portions. Pour one portion into the butter mixture, mix, then repeat with the other two portions. Keep mixing until it starts to look like mayonnaise.
- Combine the almond powder and salt in the butter mixture and mix.
- Add the cake flour into the mixture in 3 portions, mixing/folding in between (as if you’re cutting the dough).
- Spread the dough between cling wrap (bottom) and parchment paper (top) and flatten the dough into a 28x28cm square using a rolling pin.
- Flip the dough around so the parchment paper is on the bottom and place in fridge to chill for a minimum of 1 hour.
- After the dough has had time to rest, preheat the oven to 180°C. Then, take the dough out from the fridge and poke holes in it using a fork.
- Lower the oven to 170°C and slightly bake the dough for 18 minutes.
- In the meantime, roast the sliced almonds by baking them at 170°C for 8 minutes.
- Once about 10 minutes of step 9 have passed, combine all the ingredients (except the sliced almonds) from the appareil section in a pot and simmer over medium heat for about 5 minutes.
- Then, after about 5 minutes, add the baked sliced almonds. The appareil mixture and the sablé dough should be finished at the same time.
- Next, spread the appareil mixture over the sablé dough.
- Bake the dough with the appareil for about 20 minutes at 160°C. Make sure to cut the florentines into squares before it completely cools down to prevent it from cracking. You should start cutting while it’s still warm.
Florentine cookies are thin, crispy cookies made from a base of nuts (usually almonds or hazelnuts), fruits such as cherries and citrus, melted butter, and cream to create a candy-like base that's then baked. Once cool, Florentines are dipped or drizzled with melted chocolate for a finishing touch. Drop teaspoonfuls of the mixture on to the prepared baking trays. It's important to allow plenty of space between biscuits as they spread a lot! The easiest way to create a solid base for your florentine without the use of pastry is to be free with the flaked almonds, as Berry, Bell, Prince and Ottolenghi and Tamimi recommend.
