John Whaite’s salted peanut and chocolate Florentines recipe
Ingredients
Instructions
-
Preheat the oven to 180°C (350°F) and line a baking tray with parchment paper.
-
In a saucepan, melt the butter, golden syrup, and caster sugar over low heat. Stir until the sugar has dissolved.
-
Remove from heat and add the plain flour, double cream, mixed dried fruit, and salted peanuts. Stir well to combine.
-
Drop spoonfuls of the mixture onto the prepared baking tray, leaving space between each one. Flatten each spoonful with the back of a spoon.
-
Bake in the preheated oven for 10-12 minutes, or until golden brown.
-
Remove from the oven and let the Florentines cool on the baking tray for a few minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
-
Once the Florentines have cooled, melt the dark chocolate in a heatproof bowl over simmering water. Stir until smooth.
-
Dip the flat side of each Florentine into the melted chocolate, allowing any excess to drip off. Place them back on the wire rack.
-
Leave the Florentines to set at room temperature for about 30 minutes, or until the chocolate has hardened.
-
Serve and enjoy!
