So yesterday I made chocolate-marzipan biscuits. These are delicious chocolate biscuits which enclose a piece of marzipan. I've made them once before and they didn't work too well as they spread in the oven and made one large cookie so this time i put the baking tray full of cookies in the fridge for half an hour before baking and they kept their shape!
I would love to post a photograph but unfortunately Mr Ellie scoffed them before I got a chance - he is very partial to a chocolate-marzipan biscuit! I didn't even get a chance to decorate the biscuits with a drizzle of white chocolate.
Whilst I was baking I also attempted for the first time ever to make pasta from scratch. I got a pasta machine for Christmas last year and its never once been out of the box! I made ravioli with a little leftover bolognese sauce as filling. They weren't the most delicate ravioli in the world but they tasted good and only one exploded in the pan during cooking! Mr Ellie tucked into them so I think that's a pretty good indication that they were ok after all!
I think i might make chocolate brownie at the weekend - another of Mr Ellie's favourites (mind you I don't think there's anything he doesn't like...!). This time I'll try and post a photograph as well though.
