Chocolate Biscuits with Soft Chocolate Centres

Sunday, September 21, 2008

I got this recipe from a website and I've tried it.It's really delicious.


Ingredients

* 140g/5oz butter
* 140g/5oz caster sugar
* 2 egg yolks
* 255g/9oz self-raising flour
* 30g/1oz cocoa powder
* 30 squares of chocolate (milk, white or plain)


Cream the butter and sugar together until pale. Beat in the egg yolks, then add the flour and cocoa powder to make a dough. Turn out and knead, then pop it into the fridge for a while. Preheat the oven to 190ºC/375ºF/gas 5.

However, if you find your dough too crumbly (that's what happened to me and I was on the verge of tears)
, heat some butter in a pan and pour it onto your dough. And then knead so that it will be properly mixed.

On a lightly floured surface, roll about a third of the dough out thinly, then cut out about 30 circles with the smaller cutter (you can do fewer if you want the biscuits bigger). You can also roll the dough on a baking sheet. It won't stick (mine didn't). I prefer rolling it on a kertas which u can get from kedai kek (i hav no idea wut its called) cause if you use flour, they will definitely stick to your dough and if you accidentally put too much, you might end up with a batch of biscuits which will be too hard to eat. Or maybe you'll still be able to eat them, but it will still be hard. And the dough will also be very crumbly.

Spread them out on the baking sheet and put a square of chocolate in the middle of each one – make sure you use all the chocolate however many you do. Then roll the rest of the dough out (I always add the leftovers from the first lot of cutting to it and knead it a bit). Cut out the same number of circles with the larger cutter and pop them on top of the chocolate, pressing gently all the way round to seal the edge and keep all the chocolate in.

Cook in the preheated oven for 10 minutes, and eat them hot or cold.


p/s: this isn't totally my own writing. copy pasted some of it. but anyhow,try it. it's good. i'm off baking though. i'm sticking to normal cooking. baking sure is hard man.
