The collage shows the step‑by‑step journey of making classic butter biscuits finished with a glossy chocolate dip. Here’s how you can recreate them in your kitchen.
Ingredients (for about 20–24 biscuits)- 200 g unsalted butter, softened
– 100 g powdered sugar
– 1 tsp vanilla extract
– 250 g all‑purpose flour
– Pinch of salt
– 200 g dark or milk chocolate (for coating)
– Optional: a little vegetable oil to thin the chocolate
Method1. Make the dough: Beat the softened butter with powdered sugar until light and fluffy (like the creamy mix in the top‑left photo). Add vanilla and mix briefly. Sift in flour and salt, then combine to form a smooth dough.
2. Shape the biscuits: Pipe the dough onto a parchment‑lined baking sheet using a star‑tip nozzle, forming the wavy “S” shapes seen in the top‑right image. Keep the sizes uniform for even baking.
3. Bake: Preheat the oven to 180 °C (350 °F). Bake the shaped biscuits for 12–15 minutes, until the edges are just golden. Let them cool completely on a wire rack.
4. Chocolate coating: Melt the chocolate (add a splash of oil if needed for a smoother finish). Dip one half of each cooled biscuit into the melted chocolate, letting excess drip off.
5. Finish: Place the chocolate‑dipped biscuits on parchment to set. Once the chocolate hardens, you’ll have the elegant half‑chocolate, half‑butter biscuits shown in the bottom photo.
Tips & Variations- For extra flavor, add a zest of lemon or orange to the dough.
– Swap dark chocolate for white chocolate for a different look.
– Store the biscuits in an airtight container to keep them crisp.
