Croquet: got Marbled

By Za, 

This croquet is very similar to the original one I had previously posted. 
So, I used: 

A

• 2 eggs
• 3/4 mug sugar. (the typical British mug) 

mix well until cream. 

• 1/3 cup of oil. 

Mix more. 
1/2 tsp of Vanilla 

B

Take some of the mixture out separately and add 2 tbsp of cocoa to it. Mix well until you get something like a chocolate cream, then, start adding flour ( and 1tsp of baking powder) to it to turn it into a dough. See picture ===> 

do the same to the other half. Add flour and baking powder and make a dough out of it. 

you'll end up with two small doughs, a black and a white one. 

Mix them however you like. Bring the two doughs together to mingle. what I did was, I spread the white dough and shredded the chocolate one inside it. Then, I closed the white dough and kneaded it one or twice to make sure it doesn't open. So, I got this result. 

Flatten the dough on a dusted baking tray. Grease with egg yolk and scratch with a fork. Then put it to bake! 'Tadaa'!

Chocolate Urchins!

You like Chocolate? here's one for you. These little Chocolate urchins are both soft and crunchy. They're great to offer to friends in fancy cake cases. They may look evil but as soon as u take your first bite, you just won't want to stop. 

What you need is: 

• 1 cup of sugar. 
• 250g unsalted butter. 
• 2 tbsp of honey. 
• 3 tbsp of cocoa. 
• Vanilla
• 1 sachet of baking powder. 
• 2 or 3 eggs. 
• Flour ( enough to get the batter assembled into a dough)

How to make it: 

Mix the sugar and butter till cream. Add the eggs, honey and cocoa and mix well. ( I don't have a food processor so I use a whisk to mix) you can use 1/2 sachet of the baking powder. No need for a whole one. Then, start adding the flour bit by bit until you get a very fluffy and soft dough. ( non-sticky too). 

Make small balls, place them on a baking tray and chuck in the (pre-heated)  oven. ( I usually check on them after 20mins on a 150 C) 

 

      

Meanwhile, make your chocolate frosting. 

I just melt some chocolate tablets with a tiny teeny bit of butter and a table spoon or two of milk. 

Dip the ready baked cookies upside down into the chocolate frosting then sprinkle them with chocolate vermicelli to give them an urchin stylish look! 

let the chocolate cool and harden before serving. 

    

et voila!
