Nutella Clouds

I spotted one of those jars of nutella today. You know, one that turns into a glass when you've finished. It brought back lots of memories of being young and taking chocolate finger-fulls and then proudly drinking orange juice from my chocolate cup. I felt all inspired. 

I baked these biscuits. Perfect with coffee. In fact, tomorrow, I'm going to go all Italian and just have a cloud and strong coffee for breakfast - sod the cereal. 

Nutella Clouds 

100g butter, softened

100g caster sugar

100g ground almonds

100g plain flour 

a few spoonfuls of nutella

1/ Preheat the oven to 180C

2/ Beat the butter and sugar together until you have a thick, smooth paste. Work in the ground almonds and flour until your paste becomes dough. Divide into 20 bits and roll each into the shape of walnuts. Place on a non stick baking sheet and cook for 10 minutes, or until golden. 

3/ Cool and smother with nutella. Sandwich and dunk into coffee.
