  • 50 g⅓ cup + 1 tbsp2 oz icing sugar
  • 1 egg yolk
  • 1 pinch of salt

Topping

  • 200 g1½ cups7 oz flaked almonds
  • 65 g¼ cup cream
  • 100 g½ cup3½ oz sugar
  • 40 g2 tbsp honey
  • 35 g2½ tbsp butter
  • 100 g3½ oz baking chocolate, if desired

Method

  1. Weigh the ingredients for the dough into the mixing bowl and mix /37°C100°F/speed 5.

    Dough

    • 200 g1⅔ cups7 oz flour
    • 100 g⅓ cup + 2 tbsp3½ oz butter
    • 50 g⅓ cup + 1 tbsp2 oz icing sugar
    • 1 egg yolk
    • 1 pinch of salt
  2. Wrap in cling film and leave to rest in the fridge for .
  3. Preheat the Combi on /180°C355°F/Bake.
  4. Roll out the dough on the baking tray lined with baking paper and prick it all over with a fork.
  5. Pre-bake /180°C355°F/Bake on the bottom shelf and take it out again.
  6. During this baking time, weigh the ingredients, except for the flaked almonds, into the mixing bowl and simmer /80°C175°F/speed 4.

    Our tip On the hob instead, stir the cream, sugar, honey and butter in a small pan over a low heat until the sugar has dissolved. It needs to get hot, not boil.

  7. Then fold in the flaked almonds with the spatula.
  8. Spread it over the pre-baked base and finish baking for another /180°C355°F/Bake.

    Our tip Leave a narrow border bare, as the topping spreads when it melts. It's done when the almonds are golden and the caramel bubbles all over.

  9. Once cooled, cut into small pieces.

    Our tip Press a long, sharp knife straight down rather than sawing. If the caramel cracks, dip the blade in hot water and dry it before each cut.

  10. If you like, put the 100 g3½ oz baking chocolate into the rinsed mixing bowl for /45°C115°F/speed 2. Transfer to a bowl and dip 2 opposite sides of the cookies into the chocolate. Leave to set and enjoy.
