Ingredients
125g butter, softened
150g caster sugar
1 medium egg
200g plain white flour
1 tsp baking powder
1 tsp vanilla extract
2 tbsp spent ground coffee
100g dark chocolate
20g butter (for the topping)
Method
Preheat a fan oven to 180Ā°C. Grease and dust a small baking tray liberally (approximately 18cm diameter).
Cream the butter and sugar together until light, beat in the egg. Add the flour, baking powder, vanilla extract and coffee. Beat together until you get a firm dough. Press into the greased baking tray with the back of a spoon.
Bake in the oven for 25 minutes until golden brown. Remove carefully from the oven and while still piping hot, use a sharp knife to trace out the shape of the biscuits. Leave in the tray to cool completely before turning it upside down and tapping sharply. The biscuits should fall out and break apart easily.
Melt the chocolate and butter together in a ābain marieā (glass bowl over a pot of hot water). Mix until glossy and then dollop on top of the biscuits.
