Chocolate Biscuit

Ingredients

Directions

The book gives no oven temperature. The 350°F (175°C) in the steps was added when the recipe was transcribed, as a starting point.

  1. Pound the chocolate until fine.

  2. Mix the chocolate thoroughly with paste E.

  3. Grease a mold or molds with butter.

  4. Pour the mixture into the prepared mold(s).

  5. Bake in a moderately heated oven at 350°F (175°C) until done, checking for color.
