Florentine-Style Rusk
- 3 slice White bread (from an 8-slice loaf)
- 60 grams Sliced almonds
- 30 grams Granulated sugar
- 1 and 1/2 tablespoon Honey
- 20 grams Butter
- In a frying pan, heat granulated sugar and honey over low-medium heat.
- When it starts to simmer turn down the heat to low and keep watching it.
- When it turns to light brown add butter.
- Melt butter by swirling in the frying pan.
- When butter is completely melted, add sliced almonds at once.
- Quickly mix and stop the heat.
- While it's still hot, spread it evenly on sliced white bread.
- Place on a baking tray lined with baking sheet and place in oven preheated to 160C for 20 minutes.
- When it's golden brown it's ready!
- Transfer to a rack to cool.
- If you're using thick bread, make sure its crispy inside too.
- After it cools down and the caramel hardens, cut them into bite-sized pieces and transfer to a serving plate.
- You're done!
- From the side, rich layers of almond and caramel on a crispy base of toast!
- It's irresistible!
