Preparation

  1. Soften honey, butter and brown sugar to dissolve them. Leave to cook under 40 °C and add the egg.
  2. Mix flour, almonds, baking powder, spices and candied orange; incorporate liquid to form a soft paste. Refrigerate for 2 hours.
  3. Shape twenty-four flattened domes of 5 cm on two plates, hands slightly damp. Cook the baking tray separately for 13 to 15 minutes each at 170°C; the biscuits remain soft in the center. Cool 30 minutes before assembly.
  4. Cool the twenty-four cookies. Spread 8 to 10 g of thick marmalade on twelve bases and place the twelve lids. Keep sandwiches low, without a big filling bump.
  5. Melt the white chocolate and spread 10 to 12 g on top of each sandwich, leaving the brown slice and orange line visible. Reserve the surplus; take 45 minutes in a cool room.

Preserve and Serve

4 days in closed box in refrigerator; leave 15 minutes before service.

Baking tips for this recipe

  • Preheat the oven according to the plug and prepare the mold before mixing the last ingredients.
  • Uses the dimensions and cooking mode indicated: a higher or wider mold changes the cooking of the center.
  • Follow the visual cues of step by step in addition to the duration. Respect the intended cooling before unmoulding or decorating.

Substitutions and variations

You can choose a sweeter or more full-bodied honey, keeping the indicated amount. Replacing honey with dry sugar, on the other hand, requires a review of the recipe.

Keep the type of chocolate provided for the structure or ganache. Switching from dark chocolate to white chocolate changes the balance: the quantities do not transpose directly.
