dark chocolate & sweet orange oil

- too good to roll down the aisle

Ingredients

1 tsp Baking powder

100 g Besan flour

125 g Butter

250 g Dark Choc Chips

1/4 tsp Orange oil

1 Egg

200 g Potato starch

200 g Caster sugar

 

Method

Preheat oven to 170o C.

Line two baking trays with baking paper.

Mixing

Thermomix

Set aside the dark chocolate chips.

Place all other ingredients into the TM bowl.

Mix for 35 secs at speed 4.

Ensure all ingredients are fully incorporated.

Add dark chocolate chips.

Mix for 20 secs on Reverse + speed 2.

Stand Mixer

Sift together baking powder, the besan flour and the potato starch.

Cream butter & sugar until light & fluffy.

Add the egg & orange oil & mix until the creamed mixture is uniform. You may need to scrape down the sides.

Add the sifted flour mix.

Mix until the flour is completely incorporated.

Gently mix in the dark chocolate chips.

Baking

Take approximately 25 g of the mixture and roll it into a ball between your palms. Place the ball on the baking tray. Repeat until all dough is used. There should be sufficient dough to make approximately 34 biscuits. I place them on the tray in a 4, 3, 4, 3, 4 configuration. 

Bake at 170o C for approximately 13 mins. I turn the trays at halfway through the cooking time as my oven has a slight hot spot in one corner. The actual baking time will depend on your oven & how big you make the balls.

******DO NOT EAT THE RAW DOUGH******

 It has an absolutely disgusting flavour.
