Where to find ingredients
You can find cornflour, all-purpose flour, and sugars at local supermarkets or open-air markets. Unsalted butter and margarine are available in the refrigerated dairy section. Dark chocolate and corn syrup can be found in the baking aisle or at specialty confectionery shops. For the walnuts, check the dry goods section or local nut and spice traders.
Preparation method
- In a mixing bowl, combine the cornflour, all-purpose flour, sugar, margarine, and ground walnuts until a smooth dough forms.
- Preheat your oven to 180°C (medium heat).
- Lightly grease and dust a baking tray with flour.
- Shape the dough into small balls and place them onto the prepared baking tray.
- Bake for approximately 10 minutes, or until the cookies are lightly golden.
- While the cookies are baking, prepare the filling: melt the chopped dark chocolate in a bain-marie, then stir in the corn syrup, milk, and butter.
- Stir continuously until you achieve a thick, uniform cream.
- Remove the chocolate filling from the heat and allow it to cool to room temperature.
- Once the cookies have cooled completely, sandwich them together in pairs with the chocolate filling.
