MINIATURE FLORENTINES

_Candied-Fruit Honey Wafers Dipped in Chocolate_ You might be tempted to bake 2 sheets of cookies at a time in the upper and lower thirds of the oven. Don't give in to this urge - the cookies must go in the middle of the oven to cook through and brown evenly.

Provided by Lillian Langseth-Christensen

Yield Makes about 7 dozen cookies

Number Of Ingredients 8

Ingredients

1/2 cup sugar
3 1/2 tablespoons unsalted butter
2 1/2 tablespoons mild honey
2 tablespoons heavy cream
2/3 cup sliced almonds
1/4 cup finely chopped fine-quality candied orange peel*
8 oz fine-quality bittersweet chocolate (not unsweetened), finely chopped
parchment paper

Steps:

Preheat oven to 400°F.
Boil sugar, butter, honey, and cream in a 1-quart heavy saucepan over moderate heat, stirring constantly, until creamy and slightly thickened, about 5 minutes. Remove from heat and stir in almonds and orange peel (batter will be thin).
Drop level 1/2 teaspoons of batter about 2 inches apart on parchment-lined baking sheets. (Batter will thicken as it cools; you may need to reheat for last few batches.) Bake in batches in middle of oven until golden brown and bubbly, 8 to 10 minutes. (Cookies will look runny at this point.) Cool cookies on sheets on racks until firm enough to be lifted, about 2 minutes, then transfer with a metal spatula to racks to cool completely. (These cookies are very delicate; if they become too brittle to lift easily, return to oven to soften, about 1 minute.)
Melt chocolate in a double boiler or a metal bowl set over a saucepan of barely simmering water, stirring occasionally, then remove top of double boiler or bowl from heat. Dip about one third of each cookie into chocolate, then transfer to a parchment-lined tray. Let stand until chocolate is set, about 1 hour.

Heat the oven to 180°C/160°C fan/gas 4. Stir the butter, sugar and flour in a medium saucepan over a medium heat until the butter has melted. Gently mix in the cream using a wooden spoon, then add all the remaining ingredients apart from the chocolate and stir until well combined. Set aside to cool.
The florentines are best baked in 3 batches of 12 as they cool quickly. Grease a baking sheet with a little butter and put 12 heaped teaspoons of mixture on the sheet, about 4cm apart. Lightly press down each mound with the back of the spoon, then bake for 7-8 minutes until golden. Take the florentines out of the oven. If the sides are too ragged, neaten them up using the edge of a teaspoon, working as quickly as possible. Put them them back in the oven for 1-2 minutes. Leave the florentines to cool on the tray for a few minutes, then transfer to a cooling rack to cool completely. If they break a little, reshape while warm.
When completely cool, dip one side of the florentines into the melted white chocolate, then put on an upturned baking tray, chocolate-side up, for 15-20 minutes until the chocolate has cooled and set. Repeat to give a good thick chocolate base. Once cooled, drizzle the melted milk (or dark) chocolate over the bases in a zig zag pattern and leave to set once more. Let the chocolate set completely before packaging the florentines for gifts.
