Almond Florentine for the Fall Harvest Salad
featured on the new Kitchen West Lunch menu (pricing and menu details below)
· 1 ¾ cups sliced, blanched almonds blanched.
· 3 tablespoons all-purpose flour
· ¼ teaspoons fine salt
· ¾ cup sugar
· 2 tablespoons heavy cream
· 2 tablespoons light corn syrup
· 5 tablespoons unsalted butter
· ½ teaspoons pure vanilla extract
Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper. Pulse the almonds in a food processor until finely chopped but not pasty. Stir together the nuts, flour and salt in a large bowl. Put the sugar, cream, corn syrup and butter in a small sauce pan. Cook over medium heat, stirring occasionally, until mixture comes to a rolling boil and the sugar is completely dissolved. Boil for one more minute, remove from heat and stir in the vanilla. Next pour mixture into almond mixture and stir just to combine.
Let cool for 30 minutes or able to handle. Roll the batter into balls, place them on the parchment paper, leaving 3 inches between each cookie since they will spread. Bake for 10 to 11 minutes rotating them half way so they will flatten out evenly. After 5 minutes of cooling, remove them and place on a cold baking sheet. Serve and enjoy.
