Florentines - version #2 (Food Network)

[a_boleyn]

Even though my last (first) florentine attempt was successful in terms of flavour, appearance and ease of technique, it did not do what I was aiming for when I was looking for THE florentine recipe of my dreams. So, today, when I didn't get a supply job and had a free afternoon to play, I gave my second possible florentine recipe a try.

EUREKA!!!I

These look fabulous. I've always been a little afraid to try these, mostly because of a really bad experience at trying to make fortune cookies.

Hmm, I'd probably go au natural with them as you did. I love crunchy cookies!

Tuiles/fortune cookies ... sometimes I'm curious about trying to make them myself.

The first version with cranberries and chocolate coating were nice but these were good as well.

We are trying to think of something different to serve with dessert for Saturday night (btw, went with the mushroom and fennel - it was fabulous!). I might suggest these to Chris.

They're quite easy to make with simple ingredients and you can turn the flat circles into cigars and fill them with whipped cream, cut them into shapes ie hearts with cookie cutters and dip them into melted chocolate, use 2 florentines to make ice cream sandwiches etc. Or just crumble them and sprinkle them over ice cream as a garnish.

The Big guy is up for a try, so we shall see!

Best of luck.
