Chocolate Fork Biscuits
Liaison's 10/10 dunkability scoring biscuits

Ingredients
100 grams SR flour
100 grams butter
50 grams caster sugar
25 grams powdered drinking chocolate
1/2 teaspoon vanilla essence
pinch of salt
A variation on the above which I have not tried would be to use 1 tablespoon cocoa powder and a bit more sugar instead of drinking chocolate.
Method
Cream butter, add sugar, beat till light and fluffy.
Sift flour, cocoa and salt, and work them into the creamed mixture with the vanilla.
Roll into balls to the size of a walnut – place them well spaced on a greased baking tray. Flatten each ball with a fork dipped in cold water into 5 cm rounds.
Bake in a moderate oven (180 degrees Celsius) for about 10 - 15 minutes. (lower cooking time for fan ovens)
Remove carefully from tray to cool on a wire rack and keep in an airtight tin.
Jaffa Cakes make for great dunking!
Fingers, however, do not. redface
JAFFA CAKES are NOT biscuits and all reference to them as such should be removed from this thread at once!
Best biscuits for dunking (and a cheap one at that) are the 'OATIES' from aldi's supermarkets.
Best liquid for dunking is Hot, Unsweetened Tea with a small quantity of milk added
Coffee just doesnt do the job and often fails to fuly penetrate the biscuit in the proper manner
Milky coffee is a definite candidate for avoiding at all costs when it comes to its dunking properties
For those who like a little more adventure when dunking we heartily recommend the good old fashioned custard cream

I have never tried dunking a jaffa,it just seems so wrong confused
Have to try it though..need to go and buy some right now and experiment.
I enjoy dunking morning coffee ,quite a precarious task as they are prone to falling apart,but i like the excitement of wondering whether it will or not.
Then if it does i go running to the kitchen to fetch a spoon to scoop the bedraggled gloopy mess out.
I know how to live it up :P
Eeeeeeeeew.. you lot!... I cannot think of anything worse than a soggy biscuit in a cuppa.. and then to get to the end of you cuppa and swallow all the soggy after bits! :silly:
Well do try dunking a jaffa, you won't regret it!
btw has anyone baked a batch of biscuits from my recipie yet? lol
Jayma, if I ever get some soggy bits at the bottom from a rich tea or the like, I don't swallow them, we don't do that sort of thing down south. cool

No no no .. its got to be a dry biscuit for dunking.
I love ginger biscuits as they soak up a lot of tea but you have to get the timing exactly right or you end up with it all floating in your cup
