Hungarian Chocolate Biscuits

June 9, 2016 By Amy 2 Comments

Hungarian Chocolate Biscuits

Granny has this drawer in her kitchen. This particular drawer is quite special. It’s the drawer that if organised, could form an entire series of cookbooks. It could only be described as Granny’s Recipe Drawer. These Hungarian Biscuits is one of – what is likely thousands! – recipes stashed away in that drawer.

Despite a bit of Goolging, I can’t seem to find much information on the origin of these biscuits. I’m not sure if they are even native to Hungary! But Granny tells me she first came across this recipe when she was working one of her first jobs in a small cafe, local to where she grew up. These Hungarian Chocolate Biscuits were one of their big sellers, and with good reason. Lovely little biscuits, both enjoyable with or without the butter cream filling – easy to make with ingredients you’ve likely already got in your cupboards!

Granny’s Top Tips.
♥  If you prefer a stronger chocolate flavour, swap out the drinking chocolate with cocoa powder.
♥  For a matching chocolate butter cream, replace 30g of icing sugar from the butter cream with 30g of drinking chocolate.
