Ingredients:
500g lard, softened
500g caster sugar
1 egg white
750g plain flour
1 tsp bicarbonate of soda
20g cocoa powder
Method:
Use an electric mixer to beat together the lard, sugar and egg white until pale and creamy. Sift together the flour and baking soda then add to the lard mix, beating thoroughly to combine after each addition until you have a firm dough.
Divide this dough into two pieces and add the cocoa powder to one half. Weight the two pieces and trim both to 500g. Now take each 500g piece and divide each into 35 smaller pieces. Roll each piece into a ball then place on a baking tray lined with greaseproof (waxed) paper and press down lightly in the centre with your thumb to flatten and make an indentation.
Transfer to an oven pre-heated to 180°C and bake for about 8 minutes, or until golden brown. Allow to cool completely before serving.
