Florentine
- 80 grams Butter (unsalted or cultured)
- 40 grams Powdered sugar
- 1 Egg yolk
- 2 grams salt
- 120 grams Cake flour
- 25 grams Heavy cream
- 25 grams Honey
- 25 grams White sugar
- 15 grams Butter
- 50 grams Sliced almond
- 10 grams Orange peel
- Cookie dough.
- Combine the cookie dough ingredients in order from the top using a rubber spatula, trying not to incorporate air.
- Wrap with plastic wrap and chill in the refrigerator for 2 hours ~ over night.
- Roll out the dough into the size of the mold.
- Line the mold with parchment paper and the dough.
- Using a fork, poke holes in the dough.
- Bake in the 170C oven for 20 minutes.
- When it's baked, reduce the heat to 160C.
- Spread the almonds on a baking sheet and bake for 10 ~15 minutes, stirring occasionally.
- For the filling, add all the ingredients for the filling, except almonds and orange peel, and heat over medium heat and bring to a boil.
- Reduce the heat when it starts to brown.
- Add the almonds and orange peel and combine using a wooden spatula.
- Immediately pour the almond mixture over the cookie (from step 5).
- Bake for about 15 minutes at 180C.
- When it's cool enough to handle but still warm, cut into your preferred sizes.
- When cutting, place the Florentine almond side down on parchment paper.
- The point is to cut it when it's still warm inside.
- I cut it into 16 equal pieces.
- Done.
- The individually wrapped Florentine is a great gift.
