Steps to make Florentine Biscuits:
- Make sure all ingredients are at room temperature before starting. Sift the cake flour and the caster sugar separately.
- In a bowl, knead the butter until softened. Then, combine the caster sugar.
- Next, whisk the egg and divide into 3 portions. Pour one portion into the butter mixture, mix, then repeat with the other two portions. Keep mixing until it starts to look like mayonnaise.
- Combine the almond powder and salt in the butter mixture and mix.
- Add the cake flour into the mixture in 3 portions, mixing/folding in between (as if you’re cutting the dough).
- Spread the dough between cling wrap (bottom) and parchment paper (top) and flatten the dough into a 28x28cm square using a rolling pin.
- Flip the dough around so the parchment paper is on the bottom and place in fridge to chill for a minimum of 1 hour.
- After the dough has had time to rest, preheat the oven to 180°C. Then, take the dough out from the fridge and poke holes in it using a fork.
- Lower the oven to 170°C and slightly bake the dough for 18 minutes.
- In the meantime, roast the sliced almonds by baking them at 170°C for 8 minutes.
- Once about 10 minutes of step 9 have passed, combine all the ingredients (except the sliced almonds) from the appareil section in a pot and simmer over medium heat for about 5 minutes.
- Then, after about 5 minutes, add the baked sliced almonds. The appareil mixture and the sablé dough should be finished at the same time.
- Next, spread the appareil mixture over the sablé dough.
- Bake the dough with the appareil for about 20 minutes at 160°C. Make sure to cut the florentines into squares before it completely cools down to prevent it from cracking. You should start cutting while it’s still warm.
