Trick or treat? We vote treat.
These golden Star Biscuits are the most elegant thing you’ll put on the Halloween table this year - crisp Dorset Sweet Shortcrust, rich dark chocolate ganache and a touch of edible gold. Spookily simple to make and impossible to resist.
You’ll need:
• Dorset Pastry Sweet Shortcrust
• 50g double cream
• 50g dark chocolate
• Gold food colouring
Method:
👉 Cut out star shapes from the pastry. Using a smaller cutter, cut out the centre of half the biscuits.
👉 Place on a prepared baking sheet and bake at 180°C / Gas 4 for approximately 10 minutes until golden.
👉 Place the chocolate and cream in the microwave for approximately 30 seconds, then stir until smooth and combined.
👉 Use the chocolate mixture to sandwich the biscuits together.
👉 Finish with a brush of gold food colouring. ✨
