Ingredients:
Instructions:
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper or a silicone mat.
- Ensure butter is softened to room temperature.
- In a large mixing bowl, beat the softened butter and 1 cup of sugar together using an electric mixer on medium speed until light and fluffy. This should take about 2-3 minutes.
3. Add Wet Ingredients:
- Add the vanilla extract and egg to the butter-sugar mixture. Beat until well-combined.
4. Incorporate Dry Ingredients:
- In a separate bowl, sift together the cocoa powder, all-purpose flour, and self-raising flour.
- Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet mixture in batches, mixing well after each addition.
- Add 1 tablespoon of milk to the dough and mix until just combined. The dough should be soft but not sticky.
- Lightly flour your hands or a work surface. Scoop out tablespoons of dough and roll them into balls. Flatten each ball slightly with your hand or the back of a spoon.
7. Dust with Powdered Sugar:
- Place the biscuits onto the prepared baking sheet, leaving some space between each. Dust the tops of the biscuits lightly with powdered sugar using a fine sieve or sifter.
- Bake in the preheated oven for 10-12 minutes or until the biscuits are set and slightly firm to the touch.
- Remove from the oven and allow them to cool on the baking sheet for a few minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
- Once cooled, your Chocolate and Cream Biscuits are ready to be enjoyed! Store any leftovers in an airtight container.
Tips:
- Ensure the butter is at room temperature before you start. This makes it easier to cream with sugar and helps achieve a smooth consistency.
- Accurately measure your dry ingredients using a kitchen scale for the best results.
- Chill the dough for at least 30 minutes before rolling it out. This helps the dough firm up, making it easier to handle and shape.
- For a more intense chocolate flavor, use high-quality cocoa powder.
- To prevent the biscuits from spreading too much during baking, space them out evenly on the baking tray.
- If you like a softer biscuit, take them out of the oven when the edges are set but the centers are still slightly soft.
With these simple steps and helpful tips, you'll end up with a batch of delicious chocolate and cream biscuits that are sure to impress. Whether you enjoy them with a cup of tea, coffee, or a glass of milk, these biscuits are a perfect combination of rich chocolate and sweet cream flavors.
