Makes…25 Cones

INGREDIENTS

-          125g unsalted butter, softened

-          95g white caster sugar

-          60ml skimmed milk

-          225g plain flour

-          40g self-raising flour

-          30g oat bran

-          100g dark chocolate

-          Gold nuggets, for sprinkling

METHODS

Baking the Biscuits..

1. Preheat oven to 180ºC and line 2 baking trays with baking paper.
2. Beat the butter and sugar in a big mixing bowl with an electronic mixer until light and creamy.
3. Pour in the milk and beat until well-combined.
4. Sift the flours and oat bran before mixing it into the semi-liquid mixture with a palette knife to form a soft dough.
5. Roll the dough between 2 sheets of baking paper to 5mm-thick.
6. Use a 5cm-cookie-cutter (mine is an ice-cream-cone) to make cuts of the dough and place them on the baking paper.
7. Bake for about 15 – 20 (mine: 18 minutes) until golden-brown.
8. Cool on wire rack.

Topping with Melted Dark Chocolate…

9. Melt the chocolate in a heatproof bowl over a saucepan of simmering water (do not let the bottom of the bowl touch the water).
10. Remove from heat and cool slightly before spreading it evenly over the top of the biscuits and allow to set.

REMARKS

-          nice biscuits

-          melted dark chocolate wouldn’t set ; Singapore’s 31ºC wouldn’t allow it !
      (very challenging to stack the biscuits in packaging)

-          try coffee-glaze or chocolate-glaze in future
