With electric mixer whisk butter until creamy , add oil and mix for a further 2 minutes , add icing sugar and whisk again for a few minutes until stiff and creamy. Add flour mix with hand until dough is formed , the dough will be very soft , add a half a cup of flour if its too soft and sticks too much to your hand . . . use star nozzle to pipe , keep the nozzle vertical and press down on to cookie sheet pan that has been greased with some butter. Bake 10mins @ 190degrees. Cool - melt chocolate, spoon on . Makes about 120 biscuits .
If your biscuit bakes flat - too little flour or you used a margarine with too much water ratio to fat . Try to use butter only , if the butter is out of your budget , use a margarine with a 70% fat content.
Dip in melted chocolate and nuts . Add smarties . Be creative .
An old granny tip - Take only the nozzle and press the dough inside and let it fill over - keep in one palm of your hand , take the thumb of your other hand and press the dough through keeping the nozzle down on your baking tray . Practice makes perfect .
