The few recipes I’ve posted recently seem to have been popular. This one I discovered a few years ago in a German travel brochure. It’s really easy to make, and I have fully ‘road tested’ it on work colleagues (when I was working).

Tried to find a photo on the net, but no luck. The above shot was taken by photographing the actual brochure.

Dipped Butter Biscuits (Butterkekse mit Schokolade)

Ingredients

  • 120g unsalted butter, at room temperature
  • 50g caster sugar
  • 50g icing sugar
  • 1 medium egg plus one yolk, at room temperature
  • zest of 1 lemon, finely grated
  • 150g plain flour
  • 30g cornflour
  • 2 tbsp milk
  • 200g milk chocolate

To prepare

  1. Preheat the oven to 180°C, gas 4.
  2. Cream the butter and sugars together until light and fluffy.
  3. Beat the whole egg and egg yolk together and add gradually to the mixture, then carefully mix in the lemon zest, fl our, cornflour and milk.
  4. Place heaped teaspoons of the mixture on a baking sheet lined with baking paper.
  5. Bake for 10-15 minutes or until golden brown.
  6. Meanwhile, break the chocolate into pieces, place in a heatproof bowl and melt in the microwave or over a pan of simmering water.
  7. Once the cookies have cooled, dip each one halfway into the chocolate mixture. Place on a tray lined with greaseproof paper and leave in a cool place for the chocolate to set.

    Thanks DP, I’ve just found out.
    If you hadn’t told me on Wednesday, I wouldn’t have even known FMBTalk existed. I think I owe you.
    I make a wicked Ginger cake with Lemon Buttercream icing…….

    Wow sounds yummy and congrats on winning the t-shirt. I don’t know what FMBTalk is either. I am battling with satellite problems today and my speed is that of a snail.

    But, I will have to go check this out. I hope you have a great weekend.

    Hi Jackie, Hope you have a great weekend too and manage to get your satellite problems sorted. It’s so frustrating when you have connection trouble, I get it all the time because I’m with T-Mobile (and have another 12 months of contract to suffer with them!)
    I was really surprised to win the competition, I don’t know where the link is on FMB’s site but the URL to the Talk page is
