Ingredients
- 135 gram butter, softened
- 1/4 cup sugar
- 3 tablespoon condensed milk
- 200 gram plain flour (about 1½ cups)
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- 150 gram white chocolate drops
- zest of 2 limes
- 100 gram white chocolate (Nici used Whittaker's West Coast Buttermilk Caramelised)
- dash of milk
- extra lime zest, to garnish
Method
- 1Preheat oven to 170°C.Line a baking tray (or 2) withbaking paper.
- 2Cream the butter, sugar and condensed milk until light and fluffy. Sift in the flour and baking powder, then add the chocolate drops and lime zest. Mix to combine – it will be a stiff, lumpy dough.
- 3Roll into large walnut-sized pieces and place on a tray with space around each. Flatten with your palm (or a floured fork) and bake for 15-20 minutes until just browning on the edges. Cool on a wire rack.
- 4Gently warm the white chocolate in a heatproof bowl set over (but not touching) boiling water until just melted (see note). Add the milk, if needed, to loosen.
- 5Drizzle on the cool biscuits and scatter over the zest.
- 6Store in an airtight container.
Notes
Chocolate can "seize" when melting. If this happens, add a little milk or cream to loosen it.
