HOW TO DO IT

1 Scoop 6tbsp of the chocolate spread on to a plate lined with baking paper. Freeze for at least 1 hr.

2 In a mixing bowl, combine together the melted butter and sugar. Set aside to cool slightly, then add the egg yolk, milk and vanilla bean paste, then mix until smooth. Add the flour, baking powder, bicarbonate of soda and fine salt. Mix until fully combined, then chill for 30 mins. Heat the oven to 160C Fan/Gas 4.

3 Heat the event into equal pieces and shape each into a ball. Flatten each into a disc and put a frozen piece of chocolate spread in the middle. Fold the dough over to seal in the spread. Shape the dough back into a ball; arrange on a baking tray lined with baking paper.
