Florentine Platelets
The perfect florentine platelets recipe with a picture and simple step-by-step instructions.
- 250 g Sliced almonds
- 2 tbsp Flour
- 40 g Honey
- 70 gr Liquid cream
- 70 g Butter
- 70 g Sugar
- 1 packet Vanilla sugar
- 1 pinch Salt
- Couverture (whole milk or dark)
- Preheat the oven to 180 ° C top / bottom heat. Line the baking sheet with parchment paper. Mix the almonds and flour in a bowl. Heat honey, cream, butter, sugar, vanilla sugar and salt in a saucepan and bring to the boil. Reduce the whole thing for about 5 minutes over medium heat until the mixture browns.
- Turn the temperature down all the way and stir in the flour and almond mixture. Spread quickly on the baking paper. Bake on the middle rack for about 12 minutes. (You can bake a few minutes longer. Then it will be a little darker but more crispy)
- Take the almond platter out of the oven and immediately place a layer of baking paper on top. Roll out smooth with a rolling pin. Peel off the baking paper and immediately cut the plate into small squares. It must still be warm, but not too hot, or it will stick when you cut it.
- Melt the couverture and brush the flakes with it.
