I had it in my mind to make butterscotch biscuits. I love shortbread. Really nice and crunchy. In my mind, the perfect base in which to experiment with flavours. I have ordered butterscotch chips but as they are coming from America it will take two weeks for them to get here. I really have no patience. I noticed some Green & Black's Butterscotch chocolate the other day and thought I might try with this. The result was not as butterscotchy as I would have liked but the little bits if honeycomb exploded rather satisfactorily in my mouth and the little bits of chocolate were lovely. All in all a nice wee biscuit easily made.8oz/225gms butter
4oz/100gms dark brown sugar
8oz/225gms plain flour
4oz/100gms cornflour
pinch of salt
1 bar Green & Black's Butterscotch Chocolate smashed into small pieces
Cream softened butter and sugar.
Add the chocolate
Add the sifted flours and salt gradually and mix well
Turn out onto a floured worktop and knead lightly into a round
Roll out and cut into biscuits
Bake at 350F /180.C /Gas 4 for about 15 mins or until golden
Place on a cooling rack to crisp up.
Makes about 30 biscuits with a small cutter
Wow, they look lovely, another must try.

ReplyDeleteGranny, I followed the scent all the way from George´s blog and I must say these both look and sound yummy! I have a feeling that I am going to try them soon:)
ReplyDeleteUmmm, seems like I need a cuppa to wake me up! I wanted to make a comment on the tea-scented cookies :D Well, these chocky ones doesn´t seem bad either ;P
ReplyDeleteYou know shortbread is my all time favorite cookie and the combination of chocolate and butterscotch sounds very tasty. Love how you improvised with the Green and Black's :) I had my first taste of Green and Black from my "blogging by mail" partner Rachel of Fairy Cake Heaven. She sent me two bars in my package and they were delicious!
