    what is a slithered almond

    • Not a pedant, usually...

      and what is a 'grammer' chef? Grammar, please. But thanks for pointing out the common slither/sliver confusion. Remember everyone, snakes slither. A sliver is a very thin slice of something.

    I have made these 3 times, each time they have turned out soft, but have a good flavour.

      Hi I have made this recipe once and it turned out perfectly - just leave in the oven a bit longer. Every oven is different.!

    I would hope that the person who wrote the recipe will change the Almonds to "SLIVERED" which are sliced as opposed to what a snake does which is "SLITHERS". A small point I know but it really annoys me because the mispronounciation is becoming the norm.

      I agree wholeheartedly about the slithered. It almost did my head in! :-) My brain switched it to "slivered" quick and smart. One thing, RW8, the word is "mispronunciation", not "mispronounciation" which, in itself, is a mispronunciation. Yet another word that is really annoying when spelled incorrectly. :-)

    I am all for Harry Potter but I am not eating anything that "slithers" I would hope the people that type out the recipes will change the almonds to "slivered" as in sliced. We are still an english speaking people

    Try adding a teaspoon of baking soda/bi-carb of soda. I found this hardened them up more

    I was told once that florentines need to be made in Autumn / Winter in order for them to crisp up. They don't work so well in hot humid climates.
