Chocolate cream biscuits

afternoon-tea

...

Some words: These are mum's chocolate forcer biscuits. She made them only occasionally as a treat and we totally devoured them. My forcer bugged out mid verification testing, so I made a sausage out of the rest of the mix and sliced them up with a really thin blade. This has been updated on the date above as the cup measures are ambiguous. Mum used to use an old style tea cup so I tried with this today. They turned out much better, so an update August 2021 removing the ambiguity in quantity... you know baking and science n stuff?
