Chocolate slices are the small almond-and-chocolate tea biscuits of old Hungarian pastry shops: the almond-sugar dough bound with egg is firm, slightly chewy and very aromatic. It bakes on ready-made wafer sheets, so it does not stick and slices neatly. It is quick to make, from just a few ingredients.

Ingredients

140 g caster sugar
160 g chopped or crushed almonds
30 g dark chocolate, grated
1 egg
15 rectangular wafer sheets (about 4×6 cm, ready-made; baking paper will do as well)
baking paper for the tray

Method

Tap a step once you've finished it.

Preheat the oven to 150°C (140°C if fan-assisted) and line the tray with baking paper.
Mix the sugar, almonds and grated chocolate in a bowl, add the egg and knead well by hand.
Roll the mixture out on a floured board (or between two sheets of baking paper) to half a finger's thickness, about 1 cm, and cut into 4×6 cm rectangles.
Place the pieces on the wafer sheets and put them on the tray.
Dry-bake at 150°C for 20-25 minutes, until firm but not browned. Cool on a rack.
Store in an airtight container in a cool place.

Tips

Chop the almonds roughly with the tip of a knife, or use crushed almonds; the coarse pieces give a nice surface.
Rolling is easier between two sheets of baking paper, because the mixture is sticky.
Do not melt the chocolate, grate it, so that it only adds flavour.
Dry it at a low temperature so the almonds do not burn.
Dipped in melted chocolate it becomes a festive treat.

Frequently asked questions

Where can I buy wafer sheets?
