Steps

BAKING BISCUITS

PROCEDURE

Cook the pumpkin, blend it and let it cool.
Pour the pumpkin pulp into a bowl, add the egg and then the sugar and mix everything together.
Add all the other ingredients and lastly the flour a little at a time. Knead everything well and form a nice ball. You can use the shortcrust pastry immediately

Roll out the shortcrust pastry and form a rectangle, cover the entire surface with the chopped dark chocolate and then start to roll it into a roll. To make the job easier, spread the dough on a sheet of baking paper and it will be easier to roll it. Place the cake in a cake tin and bake it in the oven at 180 degrees for about 30 minutes. prepare the chocolate sauce. Pour a little water into a small bowl and then add the cocoa, stirring until it reaches a somewhat thick consistency. When the cake is cooked, take it out of the oven and add the chocolate sauce with the help of a fork and then dust with icing sugar. When cold, cut out the biscuits. They keep very well for several days
