My mother always baked biscuits, I however, am not that motivated. I get bored when I have to keep re-filling the tray and baking for what seems hours on end.
I found a recipe for ginger shortbread biscuits in a book I've had for ages. As my family are not crazy about ginger I adapted it and changed it into chocolate shortbread biscuits. They are dead easy - all done in the food processor and it only makes about 25 biscuits, so I could fit them all in the oven at the same time!
Chocolate Shortbread Biscuits
150g Cake Flour
25g Rice Flour
125g Soft Butter
40g Caramel Sugar
15ml Orange Zest finely grated
80g Dark Chocolate roughly chopped
Preheat the oven to 180°C.
Place all the ingredients in the processor and blitz until it comes together in a dough.
Roll the dough into balls the size of a large cherry tomato.
Using damp hands or a wet fork press down slightly.
Bake for 10 minutes.
Remove carefully and leave to cool on a rack.
I love the choclate and orange zest combination.....you're right it needs a cup of black coffee..
ReplyDeleteI don't like things too sweet, so this combination works really well. Putting the kettle on right now....
ReplyDeleteI love ginger so for me this is a tough choice - ginger or choc/orange?? Either way, these sound lovely and so easy...
ReplyDeleteJeanne - The longest part of this recipe is washing the dishes - and you know how much I love doing that!!!
