Chocolate Raisin Biscuits

125gr butter

½ white sugar

1 egg

1 ½ cup flour

¾ tsp baking powder

¾ cup chocolate raisins

Melt butter in a saucepan large enough to mix all the ingredients.

Remove from heat and mix in sugar and egg, beating well with a wooden spoon until combined.

Sift flour and baking powder into the mixture and mix to combine.

Add chocolate raisins and mix in.

Measure a tablespoon of mixture at a time, and roll into balls.

Place on a greased oven tray and flatten with the back of a wet spoon.

Bake at 180°C for 15-20 minutes or until golden and cooked.

Makes approx. 30.

I love recipes that are like this – melt the butter and add all the ingredients in in the same pot.

I followed the recipe (off an old 500gr Chelsea White Sugar bag) just as it was written.

It was very easy and quick to make.

A 130gr packet of chocolate raisins (Pams) is ¾ cup of chocolate raisins

I found that the chocolate raisins melted a little so gave the biscuits a kind of chocolate ripple effect which was quite appealing.

I cooked them for the full 20 minutes.

These are yummy and meet Katrina’s approval so are a definite keeper.
