Ingredients

Method

1.Using an electric mixer, beat butter and sugar in a small bowl until pale and creamy. Add yolk and zest; beat until well combined.
2.Gradually add flour, on low speed, until well combined. Remove dough; place on a lightly floured work surface. Shape into a 25cm rectangular log, about 2cm thick.
3.Preheat oven to 160°C/140°C fan forced. Line a large baking tray with baking paper. Cut log into 1cm-thick rectangles; place 3cm apart on prepared tray. Bake for 15 minutes or until lightly golden. Remove; set aside on a wire rack to cool.
4.Line a baking tray with baking paper. For each biscuit, dip halfway into chocolate, letting excess drip off. Place on prepared tray. Set.

For easy dipping, place chocolate in a small deep bowl or measuring jug. Melt chocolate carefully and slowly. If over-heated, chocolate will seize (become grainy) if this happens, you must discard it and start again.
