Mary Berry Chocolate Fork Biscuits Recipe

What did I ever do without this recipe? I've been a big fan of Mary Berry and her bakes for a good few years now so I was thrilled when I got one of her recipe books for Christmas and one of the first recipes that stood out to me was the simple Chocolate Fork Biscuits. It's only 4 ingredients and takes hardly any time so I've made these countless times over the last few weeks! I've seen a few variations of this recipe online since but I wanted to share the original that I use, as if you love to bake, you need to make these. They're perfect to go with an afternoon cup of tea, so I've been treating myself to a few while I work!

Ingredients:

100g softened butter

50g caster sugar

120g self-raising flour

15g cocoa powder

Method:

1. Pre-heat your oven to 180 degrees and grease and line 2 baking trays (or 1 large one, whichever is easier for you)

2. Add the butter and sugar to a bowl and beat together until smooth

3. Add in the flour, and mix well, then add in the cocoa powder, stirring until it forms a dough. It's sometimes easier to use your hands once the cocoa powder has been added

4. Form the dough into balls, about the size of a walnut and place well apart on the trays

5. Dip a fork in warm water and use this to flatten the biscuits

6. Bake in the oven for 15-20 minutes until browned then leave to cool
