Ingredients
- 10g plain flour
25g butter
60g light muscovado sugar
60ml cream
½ tsp cake spice
½ tsp ground cinnamon
the zest of 2 oranges
150g slivered almonds
75g sultanas
180g dark chocolate, broken into small even sized pieces
Method
Line two large flat baking trays with parchment.
Place the flour, butter and sugar into a saucepan and melt over a low heat, stirring as it melts. Add in the cream then stir in the cake spice, cinnamon and zest.
Stir in the almonds and sultanas then spoon the mixture onto the prepared baking tray. Flatten and shape the mixture so that the biscuits form even circular discs.
Bake for 15 minutes at 180°C. Once cool enough to handle place onto a wire rack to cool completely.
Place the chocolate into a heatproof dish and then place this over a saucepan of simmering water until it has melted.
Dip the base of each biscuit into the chocolate and place these back on the parchment paper to firm up. Peel the paper off once they are cool.
