White chocolate & lime biscuits

MAKES 12-15

Sensible they are not, but I adore these biscuits!

135g butter, softened

¼ cup sugar

3 tbsp condensed milk

200g plain flour

(about 1½ cups)

1 tsp baking powder

150g white chocolate drops Zest of 2 limes

100g white chocolate (I used Whittaker’s West Coast Buttermilk Caramelised) Dash of milk

Extra lime zest, to garnish

1 Preheat oven to 170°C.

Line a baking tray (or 2) with baking paper.

2 Cream the butter, sugar and condensed milk until light and fluffy. Sift in the flour and baking powder, then add the chocolate drops and lime zest. Mix to combine – it will be a stiff, lumpy dough.

3 Roll into large walnut-sized pieces and place on a tray with space around each. Flatten with your palm (or a floured fork) and bake for 15-20 minutes until just browning on the edges. Cool on a wire rack.

4 Gently warm the white chocolate in a heatproof bowl set over (but not touching) boiling water until just melted (see note). Add the milk, if needed, to loosen.

5 Drizzle on the cool biscuits and scatter over the zest.

6 Store in an airtight container.
