DISCLAIMER
I recommend using the Metric measurements (instead of cups & spoons) for more accuracy and better results.
Instructions
- Heat the oven to 180C/fan 160C/gas 4.
- Line a large baking sheet with baking parchemnt.
- Gently heat the butter and sugar together in a heavy base saucepan until the sugar dissolves.
- Now mix in the flour then the nuts, mixed peel, cherries and sultanas.
- Now put a teaspoonful of the mixture at widely spaced intervals on the baking paper and flatten slightly. Depending on the size of your baking tray you may have to bake these in 2 batches.
- Bake in the preheated oven for 10 minutes. If they have spread a little during baking you can neaten the edges by pushing them with the side of knife and then let them cool completely.
- In the meantime melt the chocolate in a bowl over a pan of simmering water or if you’re careful in short bursts in the microwave.
- Now turn over the Florentine’s and Brush or thinly spread the chocolate over the surface and leave to set.
