| Viennese chocolate fingers |
ingredients
- 100g/4oz butter
- 75g/3oz icing sugar
- 175g/6oz self-raising flour, sifted
- 25g/1oz cornflour
- 200g/7oz dark chocolate (at least 70% cocoa solids)
Serve 8
- Preheat the oven to 190°C/375°F/Gas mark 5. Lightly grease two baking trays.
- Cream the butter and sugar in a mixing bowl until light and fluffy. Gradually beat in the flour and cornflour.
- Melt 75g/3oz dark chocolate in a heatproof bowl set over a pan of simmering water. Beat the chocolate into the biscuit dough.
- Put the mixture in a piping bag fitted with a large star nozzle, and pipe fingers about 5cm/2in long on the baking trays, leaving room for spreading. Bake in the oven for 12–15 minutes.
- Remove from the oven, and leave to cool slightly on the baking trays, then transfer to a wire rack and allow to cool completely.
- Melt the remaining chocolate in a heatproof bowl set over a pan of simmering water, and dip one end of each biscuit in the chocolate, allowing the excess to drip back into the bowl.
- Put the biscuits on a sheet of baking parchment, and leave to set before serving.
