Ingredients

2 cup (80 grams) corn flakes

3/4 cup (105 grams) slivered almonds

3/4 cup (120 grams) sultanas

1/2 cup (100 grams) roughly chopped red glacé cherries

2/3 cup sweetened condensed milk

150 gram milk chocolate, melted (optional)

Method

1.Preheat oven to 180°C. Line 2 baking trays with baking paper.

2.Combine corn flakes, slivered almonds, sultanas and glacé cherries in a large bowl. Stir in condensed milk until ingredients are well coated.

3.Drop tablespoonfuls of mixture onto prepared trays, flattening slightly. Bake 10-12 minutes, until lightly browned. Cool completely on trays.

4.If desired, spread base of biscuits with chocolate, making wavy lines with a fork when almost set. Chill in an airtight container for up to 5 days.

Allowing florentines to cool completely before removing them from baking trays is one of the best ways to stop them breaking as you lift them off.
