Method
- Preheat oven to 180°C/350°F/Gas Mark 4. Fill a muffin tin with 6 to 8 cupcake cases.
- Place the chocolate cream biscuits into a food processor and blitz until they become fine crumbs.
- In a mixing bowl cream together the butter and sugar. Sift the flour and add mix into the butter and sugar. Mix until it resembles breadcrumbs.
- Beat in the egg. Add the milk and mix until just combined. Fold in the chocolate biscuit crumbs. Fill each cupcake case two thirds full.
- Bake for 15 to 20 mins or until a cocktail stick inserted into the centre comes out clean. Remove from the oven and transfer to a wire rack to cool fully.
