Almond, Cranberry & Coconut Florentines

Well, at least she asked what a florentine was, so here they are.

I hadn't made the recipe until today and didn't want to post in case it was a disaster. Turns out to be scrumptious and a very forgiving recipe to boot.

Ingredients:

Vegetable oil (for trays)

3 egg whites

110g icing (confectioner's) sugar

220g flaked (sliced) almonds

50g slivered almonds

50g shredded coconut

50g dried cranberries

200g good dark chocolate (chopped)

Heat oven to 160C.

Line two baking trays with baking paper and brush lightly with vegetable oil.

In a mixing bowl, whisk egg whites lightly, then whisk in icing sugar. Add flaked almonds, slivered almonds, coconut and cranberries, and gently mix until combined.

Place by the tablespoonful on the trays and flatten them with moistened fingers to flat discs of about 9cm diameter.

Bake for 10 minutes, then turn each tray 180 degrees and bake for a further 10 minutes or until golden. Leave to cool on the tray (they will harden as they cool) then arrange flat side up on a wire rack set over newspaper.

Melt chocolate in a heatproof bowl set over a pan of hot water, stirring. Pour a spoonful of chocolate on each florentine and spread with a spatula. Refrigerate for 30 minutes to set, then store in an airtight container between layers of baking paper. Keep in a cool place or in the fridge.

Confessions: I did not have enough sliced almonds (220g is a lot!), so I added a few more slivered, some golden raisins, a little bit more coconut, and some rice flakes :o

I was not sure how stiff the egg whites were supposed to be, so I started with them quite loose when I started adding the confectioner's sugar, and by the time I got done they were quite stiff. I made mine a little smaller in size and got 20 out of the recipe. You don't have to put the chocolate on, but if you can "do" chocolate, why wouldn't you? :P

These will be really nice with a cup of coffee after dinner. :)

Sorry about the grams :rolleyes: I have a scale that works in both oz and g so it does all the conversions for me.

      Celiac symptoms but negative endoscopy and antibody test + family history of gastro problems

      By NoriTori · Posted

      @Scott Adams  Sure, Any and all information is welcome. Also the only was to convince my family to get tested is to get tested myself and conclusive answers. Very stubborn lot.

      Understood. It's very anxiety-provoking when you don't know what you are dealing with and don't know if you are attacking it correctly.

      Blood results

      By Heatherisle · Posted

      I have heard of NCGS, but everything is just so confusing!!! Just unsure of things as her EMA test was negative but TTG was positive @19u/ml(lab range 0.0-7.0).Apparently she also has occasional bubble like blisters in between her fingers, don’t know if that’s significant. She is triallling gluten free as suggested by the gastroenterologist after her endoscopy. Keep getting different answers when typing in her symptoms etc. Some sites say it can be possible to have coeliac, even with a negative EMA . It’s so frustrating and her anxiety levels are through the roof. I know she’s hoping it’s coeliac which is weird I know!!! But if it’s not it just means more tests. Sorry to ramble on!!!

      Rice Flakes

      By sillyac58 · Posted

      I ame looking for rice flakes that aren't cross contaminated to use in making oat free granola. Does anyone know of a brand? Also I see that some people just used puffed rice cereal, but it seems like that wouldn't be sturdy enough to withstand the mixing without crumbling. Any ideas out there? Thanks!

      Does Dailymed.nlm.nih.gov site have filters for gluten?

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      There isn't because there is currently no gluten-free labeling requirement for prescription medications. You can search this site for prescriptions medications, but will need to know the manufacturer/maker if there is more than one, especially if you use a generic version of the medication: To see the ingredients you will need to click on the correct version of the medication and maker in the results, then scroll down to "Ingredients and Appearance" and click it, and then look at "Inactive Ingredients," as any gluten ingredients would likely appear there, rather than in the Active Ingredients area. https://dailymed.nlm.nih.gov/dailymed/
