Cooking - NZ & French Style...

When I got up this morning I decided that today would be my baking day.

Mr FF as you know, has a bit of a sweet tooth and loves biscuits. I emailed my sister in NZ and asked her for the recipe for Sante biscuits, which my Nana used to make for us when we were small.

They are very yummy and come complete with piece of chocolate on top.

Sante Biscuits Recipe

Ingredients:

230g butter
1/2 cup sugar
2 cups flour
1 tsp instant coffee powder
1 tsp vanilla essence
2 tsp baking powder
Chocolate for the top ( I used dark cooking chocolate)

Method:
1. Cream the butter, sugar, vanilla essence and coffee powder.

2. Add baking powder and flour. Beat until mixed.

3. Line a baking tray with baking paper.

4. Roll into balls and press with a fork. Top with a piece of chocolate.

5. Bake at 150 C for 20 minutes.

Lately I have been making biscuits using cutters and this recipe requires you to roll the mixture into balls then press with a fork but the balls that I made were a little on the large side hence I only made 12 biscuits and ended up eating more chocolate than I used on the biscuits.......

I then made Quiche Lorraine for Mr FF's lunch tomorrow.

The pressure is on as Mr FF loves to show off what is in his lunchbox and he has been raving about a cake that the client's wife made and keeps saying what a good cook she is!

I am supposed to be sorting through those boxes so had better get back to it.

A bientot,
