Chocolate raisin biscuits are a delightful treat that perfectly combine the rich flavor of chocolate with the chewy texture of raisins. This easy-to-follow recipe will guide you in making these scrumptious biscuits that are perfect for any occasion, whether it's a cozy family gathering or a simple snack time.
Ingredients:
Instructions:
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or lightly grease it.
In a large mixing bowl, cream together the softened butter and brown sugar until light and fluffy.
3. Add the Egg:
Beat in the egg until well combined with the butter and sugar mixture.
Gradually add the milk to the mixture, stirring constantly to ensure a smooth consistency.
In a separate bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour and baking powder.
Slowly add the dry ingredients to the wet mixture, stirring until just combined. Be careful not to overmix.
Fold in the raisins until they are evenly distributed throughout the dough.
Drop spoonfuls of dough onto the prepared baking sheet, spacing them about 2 inches apart. Flatten them slightly with the back of the spoon.
Bake in the preheated oven for 12-15 minutes, or until the biscuits are golden brown around the edges and set in the centers.
Remove from the oven and let the biscuits cool on the baking sheet for a few minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
Tips:
- Make sure to preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) before you start preparing your ingredients to ensure even baking.
- Soak the raisins in warm water for about 10 minutes before using them; this will make them plumper and juicier in the biscuits.
- Use room temperature butter as it will blend more smoothly with the sugar and other ingredients, resulting in a better-textured dough.
- Be careful not to overmix the dough after adding the flour to avoid making the biscuits tough.
- Use a cookie scoop to portion out the dough for uniform biscuit sizes, which will ensure even baking.
With their combination of sweet raisins and rich chocolate, these biscuits are sure to become a favorite in your household. Remember to store them in an airtight container to retain their freshness, and enjoy them with a glass of milk or a cup of tea. Happy baking!
