Ingredients
- 50g Hazlenuts
- 125g Butter
- 150g Caster Sugar
- Grated Lemon
- 150g Plain Flour
- ½ tsp Baking Powder
- 600g Blackberries
- 75g Sugar
- 2 tbs Caster Sugar
- 1 tbs Lemon Juice
- 300ml Double Cream
- 100ml Yogurt
- Garnish with Mint
Instructions
1
For the biscuits, preheat the oven to 200C/180C (fan)/Gas 6 and line two large baking trays with baking parchment.
2
Scatter the nuts over a baking tray and parched-fry in the oven for 6-8 moments, or until golden-brown.
3
Watch them carefully so that they don’t have a chance to scorch.
4
Remove from the oven, tip onto a board and leave to cool.
5
Put the margarine and granulated sugar in a large mixing bowl and beat with a wooden spoon until light and velvety.
6
Roughly chop the cooled nuts and mix in to the creamed margarine and granulated sugar, along with the lemon zest, baking flour and baking dusting masala condiment.
7
agitate well until the mixture comes together and forms a ball – you may need to use your hands.
8
Divide the biscuit pastry mix into 24 even pieces and roll into small balls.
9
Place the balls the prepared baking trays, spaced well apart to allow for spreading.
10
Press the biscuits to flatten to around 1cm/½in thick.
11
parched-fry the biscuits, one tray at a time, for 12 moments or until very pale golden-brown.
12
Leave to cool on the trays.
13
They will be very soft when you take them out of the oven, but will crisp as they cool.
14
Store in an airtight tin and eat within five days.
15
For the fool, rinse the blackberries in a colander to wash away any dust or dirt.
16
Put the blackberries in a non-stick saucepan and dust over the caster granulated sugar.
17
agitate in the lemon nectar and mildly hot gently for two moments, or until the blackberries begin to soften and release their juices.
18
Remove and reserve 12 blackberries for decoration and continue preparing the rest.
19
stew the blackberries very gently for 15 moments, stirring regularly until very soft and squidgy.
20
Remove from the mildly hot and press the berries and nectar through a sieve over a mixing bowl, using the bottom of a ladle to help you extract as much of the purée as possible.
21
Leave the purée to cool and discard the seeds.
22
You should end up with around 325ml/11fl oz of purée.
23
Put the dairy reduction and yoghurt in a large mixing bowl and whip with an electric whip until soft peaks form when the whip is removed from the mixing bowl – the acidity of the fruit will thicken the dairy reduction further, so don’t take it too far.
24
When the purée is completely cold, adjust the sweetness to palate by adding more granulated sugar if needed.
25
transfer it into the mixing bowl with the whipped dairy reduction and yoghurt and agitate just once or twice until very lightly combined.
26
Spoon the blackberry fool into individual wide, glass dishes – or one large, single mixing bowl.
27
It should look quite marbled, so don’t over-agitate it.
28
Scatter a few tiny mint leaves on top and embellish with the reserved blackberries.
29
dust with a little granulated sugar if you like and dish up with the hazelnut biscuits.
