N made some yummy biscuits and brought them over during birthday week. I have no decent photo - they were all eaten too quickly!
The original recipe was clipped from a newspaper, so the source is lost for now. I will have to try one day to see if I can do it justice. N used orange flavoured Lindt dark chocolate and it gave the biscuits a lovely flavour.
125 g good quality dark choc (can be flavoured)
125g butter
1 egg
175 g brown sugar
175 SR flour, sifted
Melt chocolate and butter in bowl over hot water, stirring until smooth.
Separately blend egg and brown sugar and then stir into chocolate mix.
Work in the flour until the dough is smooth and thick and then refrigerate dough in bowl for 20 mins.
Roll heaped teaspoonfuls of dough, which will have thickened in the fridge, into balls and place on baking tray lined with baking paper.
Cook in pre-heated moderate oven (180C) for 8-10 mins until the biscuits have flattened out, firmed up and the tops have cracked.
Biscuits will continue to harden as they cool.
Experiment with the baking time if you prefer chewy over crunchy biscuits.
