Instructions
- 1
Preheat your oven to 180°C (350°F) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper. Whisk the flour, sugar, and salt in a medium bowl.
Tip: Make sure to sift the flour for an even texture.
- 2
In a large bowl, cream together the butter and sugar until light and fluffy. Beat in the eggs one at a time, followed by the vanilla extract.
Tip: Don't overmix the batter, or your florentines might become tough.
- 3
Gradually mix in the flour mixture until a dough forms. Stir in the sesame seeds and mint leaves.
Tip: Don't overmix, or you'll end up with tough florentines.
- 4
Roll out the dough on a lightly floured surface to about 3mm thickness. Cut into desired shapes using a cookie cutter.
Tip: You can also use a glass or a knife to cut the dough into florentines.
- 5
Place the florentines on the prepared baking sheet, leaving about 2cm space between each one. Drizzle with salted caramel sauce.
Tip: This will help the florentines brown evenly in the oven.
- 6
Bake for 15-20 minutes, or until the edges are golden brown. Remove from the oven and let cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes.
Tip: Let the florentines cool completely on a wire rack before serving.
- 7
Once cool, transfer the florentines to a serving plate or box. Serve immediately, or store in an airtight container for up to 3 days.
Tip: These florentines are best enjoyed fresh, but they can be stored for a few days if needed.
