Chocolate biscuite

Biscuit Dough, Chocolate, Vegetarian

A very rich yet amazingly tasteful bûche recipe, full of chocolate. A classic.

Note

Cooking of the main cookie, watch out for edges not to be dry.

The more the cookie is thin, higher the oven's temperature. The thicker the cookie, lesser will be the temperature in the oven

It can be fun to add a flavor to the syrup you've soaked the cookie in.

Thereby, be careful not to soak it too much or it will literally break down on itself when you'll be folding it.

For the montage, all the elements must be cold or they won't hold.

Feel free to freeze the bûche in an air-tight container.

In a simple bowl or better in a kitchen aid, whisk the eggs the egg yolks and the sugar (225g) up until you have a ruban.

With an angled spatula, pour all of the mixture on a cooking pan covered with a parchment paper or with a silpat, from .5 to a centimeter thick.

Off in the oven at 400F from 6-8mins. Pay attention here not to dry the mixture too much.
