These are absolutely perfect as a treat with your coffee or served warm along with custard or ice cream. There's no trace of beefiness at all and the tallow balances out the sweetness and enchances the chocolate flavour.

Ingredients:

  • 125 ml beef tallow, melted
  • 250ml sugar
  • 2 eggs
  • 35g cocoa powder
  • 125g plain flour
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • Pinch of salt
  • A little water

Instructions:

  1. Preheat oven to 175°C and line an 8x8-inch baking pan with baking paper
  2. Combine the melted beef tallow and sugar until smooth. Add eggs a little at a
    time, beating well in between. Add the vanilla extract.
  3. In a separate bowl combine the cocoa powder, flour, and salt. Gradually fold
    the dry ingredients into the wet mixture until just combined. Add a little water
    if looking a dry. Be careful not to overmix!
  4. Pour into tin, even out the mixture and bake for 25-30 minutes or until a
    skewer comes out clean.
