Witches Fingers


I hope that you agree that these witches fingers biscuits look quite repulsive but they do taste very good. The melted chocolate under the nails give the impression of dirt.  
I made these at Christmas time but added some green food colouring to the dough turning them into Grinch's fingers. 

Witches Fingers


Ingredients:

100g Butter
100g Caster Sugar
200g Plain Flour
Few drops Vanilla Essence
Whole Blanched Almonds (one per biscuit)
Milk Chocolate

Directions:

  1. Preheat over to 180C,
  2. Mix together the butter, sugar, vanilla essence and flour into a firm dough.
  3. Shape into 'fingers' marking with fine lines across the middle to look like knuckles, and flatten slightly at the top end to look like a finger nail. Press in a blanched almond into each finger.
  4. Bake for 10-12 minutes until golden then remove from the oven and allow to cool on a wire rack.
  5. Melt the chocolate, remove the almond from the finger and paint over the fingernail area with the melted chocolate and immediately replace the almond nail.
