Viennese biscuit/cookie with ganache recipe

I have another yummy recipe to share with you today, really easy and taste great...

Ingredients

• For the biscuits ...
  
• 175g (6oz) unsalted butter, softened
  
• 175g (6oz) plain flour
  
• 40g (1 1/2 oz) icing sugar
  
• 40g (11/2oz) corn flour
  
• 1 teaspoon vanilla essence
  

 

• For the ganache.....
  
• 75g (3oz) plain chocolate of milk chocolate drops
  
• 4 tablespoons double cream
  

 

Method

Heat the oven to 190 oC , 375 oF, gas mark 5.

Grease a baking tin

Put the softened butter in a bowl and sift in the icing, beat together until creamy.

Add the vanilla essence, mix.

Stiff the flour and cornflour over the mixture, mix together until they are smooth.

Put a teaspoon of the mixture onto your prepared tray, remember to leave spaces between them... Flatten each blob with the back of the spoon.

Bake the biscuits for 12-14 minutes until they are pale golden brown.

Leave to cool

 

For the ganache, put the chocolate drops I. A heatproof bowl and them add the cream.

Pour approx 2 inches of water into a saucepan, heat the water until it bubbles, take the pan off the heat. Carefully, put the bowl inside the pan.

Stir the chocolate and cream until the chocolate has melted.

Lift the bowl out of the pan and let the ganache cool for a few minutes.

Then, put it in the fridge for about an hour, stirring it every now and then as it thickens.

When it is soft like butter, use a knife to spread some onto the flat side of a biscuit and press another biscuit on top!
