Where to find ingredients
You can find all ingredients at local Australian supermarkets. Look for cornflour and plain flour in the baking aisle, and high-quality dark chocolate in the confectionery section. Glucose syrup is often located near baking supplies or honey.
Preparation method
- In a mixing bowl, combine the cornflour, plain flour, sugar, margarine, and ground walnuts until a smooth dough forms
- Preheat your oven to 180°C
- Grease and lightly flour a baking tray
- Roll the dough into small balls and place them onto the prepared baking tray
- Bake for approximately 10 minutes, or until the biscuits are lightly golden
- While the biscuits are in the oven, prepare the filling by placing the chopped dark chocolate, glucose syrup, milk, and butter in a double boiler over low heat
- Stir continuously until the mixture becomes a thick, homogeneous cream
- Remove the chocolate filling from the heat and allow it to cool until lukewarm
- Once the biscuits have cooled down completely, sandwich them together in pairs with the chocolate filling
