Za 24 kolačića potrebno je:
125 smeđeg šećera (Muscovado, ili Demerara)
2 jaja
125 maslaca, istopljenog
200 ml mlijeka
1 žlica ekstrakta vanilije (koristim domaću)
225 g brašna, glatkog
50 g kakao praha (gorkog)
100 g tamne čokolade (70% kakaa)
60 ml amaretto likera
1 žličica praška za pecivo
prstohvat soli
50 g sjeckanih badema
Priprema:
Zagrijte peć na 180 °C.
Pripremite košarice za muffine, ili silikonske kalupiće.
Rastopite maslac, stavite u stranu. Istopite čokoladu.
U zdjeli spatulom ili drvenom varjačom izmiješajte jaja i šećer. Mikser nije potreban.
Umiješajte istopljeni maslac, rastopljenu čokoladu, mlijeko, vanilliju, amaretto liker.
Punite kalupiće ili košarice (otprilike 2/3, tijesto će narasti).
Peći na 160°C otprilike 12- 15 minuta.
Prije serviranja posuti kakao prahom ili prah šećerom.
Najbolji su još topli, ali i hladni, a sočni su i idući dan!
