Ingredients
  • 1 egg white
  • 400g honey
  • 5ml vanilla essence
  • 200g pistaccios and glace cherries (or other combination of fillers)
  • Riice wafer (or edible rice paper)
Instructions
  1. Place the butterfly in the bowl and add the egg white. Mix speeed 2/ 10 seconds so the egg white is fluffy.
  2. Add the honey and cook 60 min/100°C/speed 2.
  3. The mix starts off brown and runny but becomes white and fluffy. While it's doing it's thing, prepare the fillers.(Peel pistaccios, halve the cherries etc)
  4. Line the tracy with rice wafers.
  5. With 30 seconds to go, add the vanilla essence and filler items.
  6. Scoop the mixture onto the rice wavers, spreading it as evenly as possible. The mixture will be REALLY sticky! Cover with more rice paper and use a spatula or rolling pin to gently even out the mixture.
  7. Leave to set for 6-8 hours, then cut into squares. Err on the side of smallness - these are very sweet and rich!
  8. To store, wrap in clingfilm or an airtight container.
