Cut candied fruits into very small cubes. Finely grate the lemon peel. Simmer the fruits, lemon peel, flaked almonds, sugar, butter and cream while stirring for 3 minutes. Sieve over the flour and stir in. Then let the mass cool down for 10 minutes.
Place the mixture with 2 teaspoons on a baking sheet lined with baking paper and flatten it a little. Bake in the middle of the oven at 220 ° C for 5-7 minutes.
Then push each Florentine together with a spoon. Let the pastries cool down on the baking sheet. Cover the underside with couverture.
The Florentines last forever, but long before they have been eaten.
Variation: The Florentines become a bit exotic when the candied fruits are replaced by candied pineapple and dried papaya.
