CHOCOLATE SABLES

Ingredients:
Plain flour - 120 g
Caster sugar - 40 g
Butter - 65 g
Egg yolks - 2
Orange rind - 1 tsp (grated)
Plain chocolate - 100 g

Method:

• Sift the flour into a basin or on to a pastry board and make a well in the centre. Put the sugar, butter, egg yolk and grated orange rind in the well and work the mixture together with the fingertips until it forms a dough.
• Knead lightly, then roll out on a lightly floured surface to 5 mm thickness. Cut out rounds using a 5 cm fluted cutter and place on a lightly greased baking tray. 
• Bake in a preheated oven for 10 to 15 minutes. Cool on a wire tray.
• Melt the chocolate in a small bowl over a pan of hot water. When the biscuits are cold spread the top of each with chocolate and make a pattern with a fork.
