Equipment

- Baking paper
- Rolling Pin
- Round cutter
- Spoon
- Baking tray
Ingredients
Biscuits -
- 1 cup all purpose flour
- 3/4 cup whole wheat flour
- 3/4 cup icing sugar
- 1/2 tsp salt
- 1/2 cup cold butter cubed
- 1/4 cup + 2 tbsp milk
Chocolate coating -
- 1/2 cup dark chocolate
- 1 tbsp olive oil
- Sea salt flakes
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 180℃ and line a baking tray with baking paper, set aside.
- In a bowl add the all purpose flour, whole wheat flour, icing sugar, salt, nutmeg and mix together until combined.
- Add the cold butter and rub together until you have a damp sand like texture.
- Add the vanilla, milk and stir together with a spoon. Switch to your hands and mix until a dough has formed.
- Roll between two sheets of baking paper until 1/4 th inch thickness, remove one sheet of the baking paper and cut into rounds with a wine glass/circle cutters. Transfer the cut outs to the baking tray and bake for 14-16 mins until risen and lightly golden. Remove from the oven and transfer the biscuits to a wire rack to cool.
- In the mean time melt the chocolate in the microwave until smooth. Add olive oil and stir together.
- Once the biscuits have cooled down dip them into the melted chocolate. Place them in the fridge for 5-10 mins to firm up the chocolate before serving.
Notes
- Do not over bake these biscuits as they will firm up as they cool down and get snappy.
- Dipping the biscuits is not an option, these biscuits taste better with it.
