You may have noticed an eclectic note to the recipes round here, and this one is no exception. Nestled amongst the main dishes this is a delightful afternoon tea biscuit, quick and easy nothing - - I repeat - nothing should go wrong with this little number.
Biscuits are a beautiful food to serve on a tray with tea in dainty china cups and these fit the quota of vegan and vegetarian and carnivore nicely.
8oz butter or margarine
vanilla essence a few drops
2oz icing sugar
8oz plain flour
dark chocolate melted
In a bowl cream the butter and sugar together until light and fluffy (the colour should change to a slightly lighter one), add the vanilla essence and then sift in the flour. Mix to form a soft doughy paste. Using a icing bag (or two spoons) pipe (or place mounds) onto greased baking sheets. Bake in the oven at 180F for twenty five minutes until slightly browned at edges. Meanwhile, in a bowl over simmering water, melt the dark chocolate, when melted dip the cooked biscuits into the chocolate and leave to set. Serve with afternoon tea or earl grey.
