KBB#8: Bitter Chocolate Peppermint Biscuits


Lucky number 8!!

KBB-ers make biscuits again! Yippee... :D I love biscuit because it's easy to make and delectable :DD

It's really challenging for me since I have a very tight schedule on this month for work, wedding arrangement of mine (yup gals, I'm getting married next month ;)), and Rea's Cake kitchen.

Anyway, I still could sneak up a bit on my schedule...here is my presentation for KBB #8 task which I did some "creation" *winked...*

Preheat the oven to 180C. Place 185 g butter and 1 cup of caster sugar in the bowl of an electric mixer and beat until light and creamy......
Add 1 egg and beat well.....Sift 2 cups of plain flour and 1/2 teaspoon of baking powder over the egg mixture and fold through....I skipped the step of kneading, roll out, and refrigerate the dough... I just simply put the dough into the piping bag with star tip and press it onto the baking tray....I baked the biscuits for 10 minutes. In the meantime, I made the filling by combining 1 cup icing sugar, 1 teaspoon mint flavor , a drop of pink food-colouring (I'm completely in love :D) and 3 Tablespoons water. I don't have any bittersweet chocolate so I change it with 250 g melted-Ritter Sport Voll Nuss. The HAzelnut is everywhere of it!! YUmmy!! The result is PERFECT... minty filling, crunchy sensation from the biscuits and hazelnut.... I'll try for bittersweet chocolate next time...


*BIG Smile*.... finally I got the certified license of KBB #8 task....

So, I could say: mission accomplished :D
