Specifically, whip up the dough by creaming the butter and sugar then add an egg…Īnd cocoa powder… Then some flour. This is actually a perfect project for those of us spending more time inside these days because it can be done in stages. The ultimate 70s addition to any cocktail cart, right? And so the plan for the (boozy) mint Tim Tam was hatched. Well, I couldn’t find mint essence for love or money in Sydney that week (panic buying of baking supplies, much?) so I raided mum and dad’s liquor cabinet and found this… Now, since I like the Double Coat Tim Tams I was toying with the idea of just making these but I didn’t want to buy malted milk powder (well, I didn’t want to buy a giant can of it because I knew mum wouldn’t use it after I left) so I wondered about making the mint version. I found various recipes for Tim Tams online – Laura from A Beautiful Plate shared Sarah Coates‘ recipe from her book The Sugar Hit and I found a similar recipe over at 196 Flavors.
So when I saw someone posting on Facebook about needing to make Tim Tams because they live in France and can’t get them, I wondered immediately HOW do-able they are to make at home. There is the Classic collection (Original, Dark, Double Coat, White, Chewy Caramel and Choc Mint) and the new Crafted Collection but my favourites ones are definitely the double coat and the Choc Mint. With a unique combination of biscuit, cream filling and chocolate coating, it’s an indulgent treat you’ll want to share with friends and family. Tim Tams are Australia’s most loved chocolate biscuit. It’s a riff on the classic UK Penguin biscuit developed by Arnott’s director of food technology (who thought he could make Penguin biscuits better) and named after the winning horse in the 1958 Kentucky Derby. What is a Tim Tam, I hear you ask? An iconic Australian biscuit (cookie) that you can now get some iterations of (but not ALL the good flavours) here in Canada. Because, well, when you’re supposed to stay at home, what better thing to do than bake? While I was there, not only did I stock up on all my favourite treats and snacks but I also undertook to make one of my favourite Australian treats from scratch with mum. Those of you who follow me on Instagram will know that I was recently in Australia, visiting family.
