Ingredients
1/2 cup cornflour
1/2 cup all-purpose flour
1/2 cup sugar
100g unsalted margarine
1/2 cup ground walnuts
100g dark chocolate
2 tablespoons corn syrup
3 tablespoons whole milk
1 tablespoon unsalted butter
1/2 cup all-purpose flour
1/2 cup sugar
100g unsalted margarine
1/2 cup ground walnuts
100g dark chocolate
2 tablespoons corn syrup
3 tablespoons whole milk
1 tablespoon unsalted butter
Where to find ingredients
You can find all these ingredients in the baking or dry goods aisles of major supermarkets in Lusaka or other urban centers. If you cannot find corn syrup, you may substitute it with a high-quality liquid glucose, though the original corn syrup is preferred for the best texture.
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 (moderate temperature).
- Grease and lightly flour a baking tray.
- Shape 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 baking, prepare the filling: melt the chopped dark chocolate, corn syrup, milk, and butter together in a double boiler over medium heat.
- Stir continuously until you achieve a thick, smooth cream.
- Remove the filling from the heat and allow it to cool slightly.
- Once the biscuits have cooled down, sandwich them together in pairs using the chocolate filling.
