Chocolate Biscuits

1. 225 g (9 oz) sifted flour.                                                           4. 100 g (4 oz) castor sugar.
2. A pinch of salt.                                                                         5. 50 g (2 oz) plain chocolate.
3. 150 g (6 oz) butter.                                                                  6. Vanilla essence.


    Cream the butter and sugar. Dissolve the chocolate in one tablespoon of water (this is to be done at low heat). When melted add to the mixture. Stir in the flour very lightly. Add a little vanilla essence. Turn on to a floured board. Roll out and cut into fancy shapes. Bake in a moderate oven for about 12 minutes.
