4m x 3m Omlet pen, cube, new auto door still boxed and coop light

[mostin]

All the omleteers who have tasted these so far have loved them, so here is the recipe.

 

7oz / 200gms butter

10oz / 284gms plain flour

3 1/2oz / 100gms caster sugar

2 tbs. cocoa powder

few drops vanilla essense

 

I do all this in the food processor as it's quite hard work to mix the dough by hand.

 

Rub the butter into the flour. Divide this mixture into 2. With the half left in the food processor add half the sugar and the vanilla essence. Mix into a ball of dough. Remove that ball from the processor. Add the other half of the rubbed in butter and flour, the rest of the sugar, and the cocoa powder. Mix into a ball of dough and remove from processor.

 

Roll each of these balls of dough out on two squares of greaseproof paper to give two oblongs of biscuit dough about 10' by 8'.

 

Now the tricky part . Place one oblong on top of the other and roll up like you would a swiss roll. Place in the fridge for half an hour while you preheat the oven.

 

Cut the biscuit dough sausage into 30 slices and cook on a baking tray for about 10 mins at 190 degrees C / gas mark 5.

 

The uncooked dough sausage can be wrapped in foil and kept in the fridge for about a week until you are ready to use it.

they are divine - I can attest to that! I tried to knick a few extras from mostin's at the weekend but I was being carefully watched by her OH!

 

thanks for the recipe, mostin, I'm going to make these tomorrow I think.

 

(need something to cheer me and kiddywinks up and biccies and hot milk seem like a good option )

Just made a batch, they look really cute and taste great.

I'm sure Alyssa will smile when she gets home from school, she was not a happy bunny this morning, wanted another snow day

Just made some of these and they taste yummy! They look really cool as well. I had to do it by hand though because we don't have a food processor and it was fine to mix up and didn't take as long as i expected.

 

However i have realised that i cannot roll stuff into rectangles, mine both ended up being ovals so i had to re-roll the end parts.

 

Thanks for the recipe mostin,
