Ingredients Method

Ingredients
  

  • 150 g plain flour
  • 50 g caster sugar
  • zest of 1 clementine
  • Pinch of salt
  • 100 g dairy-free butter fridge cold and cubed
  • 40 g chocolate melted
  • 10 g coloured sugar crystals for sprinkling optional

Method
 

  1. Sift the flour into a large bowl, or the bowl of a stand mixer. Stir in the sugar, zest and salt.
  2. Rub in the butter with your fingertips, or the mixer. As there is a large proportion of butter to flour you will form a dough pretty quickly after getting to the breadcrumb stage.
  3. Briefly knead the dough to make it nice and smooth.
  4. Between two sheets of parchment, roll out the dough into a nice neat rectangle and to about 4mm thick and then place in the fridge to rest for 30 minutes
  5. Preheat the oven to 160 degrees Centigrade
  6. Slice 1/2cm wide strips from the chilled dough and place, spaced apart onto a lined baking sheet.
  7. Bake for 12-15 minutes until starting to gain a hint of colour around the edges.
  8. Cool on a wire rack
  9. Once totally cool, dip the tip into the melted chocolate and leave to set. You can sprinkle with coloured sugar crystals at this point if you wish.
