Instructions:
-
Cream butter and sugar: In a mixing bowl, cream together the butter and sugar until light and fluffy. This step is crucial for achieving a tender and melt-in-your-mouth texture for your biscuits.
-
-
Sift dry ingredients: In another bowl, sift together the flour, baking powder, cocoa powder, and salt. Sifting helps aerate the dry ingredients, resulting in a smoother dough.
-
Combine ingredients: Add the sifted dry ingredients to the creamed butter and sugar mixture. Mix until well combined.
-
Add instant coffee: Dissolve 1 teaspoon of instant coffee in 2 tablespoons of warm water. Add this coffee mixture to the dough and mix until evenly distributed. The coffee adds a rich and aromatic flavor to the biscuits.
-
Knead the dough: Once all the ingredients are incorporated, knead the dough gently until it comes together. Be careful not to overwork the dough, as this can result in tough biscuits.
-
Form into balls: Take small portions of the dough and roll them into balls. Place the dough balls onto a baking sheet lined with parchment paper, leaving some space between each one to allow for spreading during baking.
-
Bake: Preheat your oven to a moderate temperature and bake the biscuits for about 20 minutes, or until they are lightly golden brown and firm to the touch.
-
Cool and serve: Once baked, remove the biscuits from the oven and allow them to cool completely on a wire rack. This step is important for allowing the biscuits to set and develop their full flavor. Once cooled, serve and enjoy your homemade Mocha Biscuits with a cup of coffee or tea!
