This is the Best Florentine (Florentina)
This is one of my favorite sweets, but it's unexpectedly expensive when you try to buy it, so I made it myself. You might hesitate to buy malt syrup, but you really should. It is worth the price.
I usually bake this on a cookie sheet, but you can try making the mini sized tarts for your family as well.
After baking, cut it up as soon as it is cool enough to touch.
It breaks apart easily once it hardens, and you won't be to get it out of the mold.
You won't need a special mold if you are making them in squares. Just line a cookie sheet with parchment paper that is raised a bit over the edge of the sheet. Squares work best if you are making lots of these. For 18 cm tart pan (using 32x30 cm [12.6x11.8 in] cookie sheet). Recipe by Amikope

Cooking Instructions
- 1
(Optional): Toast the almonds in a frying pan or oven until they have a faint color, to make them fragrant and crunchy.
- 2
Mix sugar into softened butter, add in the egg a bit at a time, and then add in the cake flour. Wrap with plastic wrap and let sit in the fridge for 30 minutes.
- 3
Place the sablé dough into the pan, and use weights or ramekins to keep it from swelling up. Bake at 180°C for 10 minutes, remove the weights, and bake for an additional 10 minutes, until it turns golden brown.
- 4
Place all of the ingredients aside from the almonds in a pot. If you have a digital scale, you can measure out everything in the pot.
- 5
Bring to a simmer over medium heat while taking care not to let it burn, and reduce until it becomes cloudy (simmer for approximately 1 minute).
- 6
After reducing, add in the almond slices, and bring to a simmer once more while stirring to keep it from burning, about 1-2 minutes.
- 7
Pour into the baked tart, and evenly spread out the almonds.
- 8
Bake at 200°C for about 15~20 minutes, until golden brown. Remove from the mold while it is still warm.
- 9
After it has cooled, cut into your desired sizes. You don't have to worry about rushing to cut it if you made it in a tart pan.
- 10
Extra: When baking on a cookie sheet, line the sheet with aluminum foil or parchment paper, and bake for about 20 minutes without using any weight. The rest is the same.

Florentine Florentine
I'm not big fan of hard Florentine. So I increased the amount of butter and made it into melt-in-your- mouth Florentine.The cookie dough should be rich in butter, and the sugar has to be powdered sugar. It has crumbly texture and goes well with the caramel on top but I think about calories.The aroma and flavor improved with the addition of orange peel. Recipe by nyonta

My Florentines My Florentines
I learned the original recipe from a friend's mother when I was a student.. I arranged it to my own way after making it several times. There are many florentine with hard crunchy cookie bottoms, but I like crispy and soft cookies. So if you ask me about florentines, it would be with this recipe.I used a swiss roll cake pan. If the dough is difficult to handle at Step 6, let the dough sit in the refrigerator for a while and then roll it out with a rolling pin. The filling gets hard when cold, so if you are making it for the first time, I think it would be better to bake the cookie bottom half way before starting to make the filling. Use granulated sugar for sugar if you have. For one square cake pan or baking sheet which is 25 to 30 cm [11.8 in] in diameter. Recipe by Puru berry -

Coconut Florentine Coconut Florentine
--I recommend making the dough with powdered sugar to make it smooth.-If you have a large oven, spread out the entire amount of the dough, then top with double the amount of nougat, and bake it all together.-I'm afraid of messing it up, so I divided the dough into two batches and baked them separately.

Chicken Florentine Chicken Florentine
This dish happened on the spur of the moment. I had some leftover mascarpone from yesterday's pasta recipe, and decided to turn it into a creamy sauce for some chicken thighs. Spinach was added to round out the dish, and from there it only made sense to add nutmeg for some spicy warmth. With such a dependable combination of flavours, it wasn't surprising that the final result was pretty darned amazing. What was surprising was seeing my daughter double-fisting the spinach and chicken into her mouth. Now that's a rave review!

Crispy Walnut and Cranberry Florentines Crispy Walnut and Cranberry Florentines
I love walnuts and cranberries.So, I used them to make florentines.And, they turned out delicious.I based the nougat on a recipe from a cookbook. It is made so that it should not become sticky, as long as you stick to the instructions.Combining this with thedough made the florentines crispier.I wrote the instructions in detail, which makes the recipe long, but each step is easy.The florentines can be easily cut if you warm up your knife over an open flame.Make sure to cut the cookies before they cool down.If these points are followed, the recipe is pretty easy compared to how it looks, and everybody will love them.

Florentine-Style Rusk Florentine-Style Rusk
I got bread crust from the bakery and thought of baking rusks but wanted to add toppings. Then, I found almost-expired sliced almonds in my refrigerator! It falls off if you just put them on so I mixed it with caramel like a florentine biscuit and it turned out be amazing!The caramel gets dark (and bitter) when you heat it too quickly over strong heat so make sure you heat it slowly over low heat.Here, I used 3 slices of crust I got from the bakery but you can also use any bread you like such as white bread or slices of french baguette. Depending on the thickness of the bread you will need to adjust baking times. Recipe by yaburie -
