Ingredients
- 100 g of dark chocolate, broken into chunks
- 180 g of plain flour
- 50 g of caster sugar
- 125 g of salted butter
- 1 orange, zest only
Method
Step 1
Put the butter and sugar into a bowl and beat until creamy (kids can do this using an electric mixer). Add half the flour and mix well. Add the remaining flour and, using your hand, bring the mixture together and knead lightly until a smooth dough is formed.Step 2
On a lightly floured board roll the mixture into a 20cm square. Get your kids to cut it into fingers carefully, using a knife or cutter; re-roll any trimmings. Place on a baking tray and prick with a fork. Chill for 30 minutes. Meanwhile, preheat the oven to 180ºC/160ºC fan/Gas 4.Step 3
Bake for 15-20 minutes until crisp and lightly browned. Cool on a wire rack.Step 4
Put the chocolate into a small bowl over a pan of gently simmering water. When the chocolate has melted, remove from the heat.Step 5
Get kids to dip each shortbread finger into the chocolate at an angle, shake off the drips and place on baking paper. While the chocolate is soft, grate orange zest over the biscuits then leave to set.
