(Tip: You’ll find the full list of ingredients and measurements in the recipe card below.)

Directions

  1. Preheat the oven to 160°C (320°F).

  2. Mix the Dough: In a bowl, beat the butter and icing sugar together until light and fluffy. Add the vanilla essence and sifted cocoa powder, mixing well. Then, incorporate the cornflour and cake wheat flour. Continue mixing until the dough becomes firm yet pliable.

  3. Shape the Biscuits: Divide the dough into three pieces. Roll each piece into a rectangular shape. Cut the dough into small rectangular biscuits, approximately 1.5cm wide and 11cm long (size is flexible).

  4. Chill the Biscuits: Place the biscuits on a baking sheet and refrigerate them for 15 minutes.

  5. Bake the Biscuits: Bake for 10 minutes, or until the biscuits firm up and you begin to smell them baking.

  6. Cool: Allow the biscuits to cool completely on a cooling rack.

  7. Melt the Chocolate: Melt the chocolate in the microwave in 30-second intervals, stirring until smooth.

  8. Dip the Biscuits: Dip each biscuit into the melted chocolate, covering them partially or fully, depending on your preference.

  9. Top with Flake Chocolate: Cut the Flake chocolates in half lengthwise and divide them into three pieces. Sprinkle the crumbs on top of each biscuit or place the whole pieces on top for an extra chocolatey finish.

  10. Store: Store in an airtight container for up to a week.

FAQs

1. Can I use margarine instead of butter?

Yes, you can use margarine, but the texture and flavor of the biscuits may slightly differ from the original recipe.

2. Can I make the dough ahead of time?

Yes, you can prepare the dough and refrigerate it for up to 24 hours before rolling, cutting, and baking.

3. Can I use regular flour instead of cake flour?

Cake flour provides a lighter texture, but you can substitute it with regular all-purpose flour if you prefer. The texture may be slightly denser.

4. How do I keep the biscuits from sticking to the baking sheet?

Ensure that you refrigerate the biscuits before baking, as this helps prevent them from spreading too much. You can also line your baking sheet with parchment paper for easier removal.

5. Can I make these biscuits gluten-free?

You can use a gluten-free flour blend as a substitute for cake wheat flour to make these biscuits gluten-free.

6. How can I make the chocolate coating thicker?

For a thicker chocolate coating, dip the biscuits twice or use a thicker melted chocolate mixture.

7. Can I use a different type of chocolate for dipping?

Absolutely! Feel free to use dark chocolate, milk chocolate, or even white chocolate, depending on your personal taste.

8. Can I add nuts to the biscuits?

Yes, adding crushed nuts like almonds or hazelnuts to the dough or as a topping can add a lovely crunch and flavor to the biscuits.

9. How long should I bake the biscuits?

The biscuits should bake for around 10 minutes, but keep an eye on them to ensure they don’t overbake. They will firm up as they cool.

10. Can I make these biscuits ahead of time for a party?

Yes, these biscuits are perfect for making ahead. Just store them in an airtight container, and they will stay fresh for up to a week.
