Vanilla & Chocolate Swirls
- 4 ounces butter or 4 ounces margarine
- 4 ounces fine white sugar
- 8 ounces self-raising flour
- 1 pinch salt
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract (dough 1)
- 13 cup cocoa powder, packed (dough 2)
- You will have to make the dough twice using the first 4 ingredients but adding the vanilla and the cacao to the different batches.
- If the dough is too soft to roll out, wrap it up and put in the fridge to firm up.
- On baking parchment/paper roll out the vanilla dough into a rectangle approx 1/4 inch thick.
- Do the same with the chocolate dough, use flour for rolling if the dough is sticky.
- Use hands and/or fingers to shape or patch, so they will end up the same size as much as possible.
- Lift chocolate dough with paper and invert on top of the vanilla, press the two layers firmly together, shape if necessary.
- Grip the paper on the long side of the rectangle and use it to help roll up the dough like a Swiss Roll.
- By this time the dough is probably too soft again and you will have to put it back into the fridge until firm.
- Preheat the oven to 325 degrees F.
- Take dough out of the fridge and cut into approx 1/4 inch slices, put on baking tray{s} and bake for 15 to 20 minutes.
- Leave to cool for 5 minutes when they come out of the oven before you lift them off the tray.
