Ingredients
  

Dough
  • 2 1/2 cups flour
  • 50 g butter grated
  • 4 teaspoons baking powder
  • 2 tablespoons sugar
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 1 cup buttermilk
  • 1 tablespoon vanilla essence
Filling
  • 50 g butter
  • 100 g hazelnut spread
  • 2 tablespoons cocoa
  • 2 tablespoons sugar
  • 1/2 cup choc chips
1/4 cup cream, for brushing
Icing
  • 1/2 cup icing sugar
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla essence
  • Milk

Method
 

  1. Preheat your oven to 150 degrees fan bake (or 170 degrees regular bake).
  2. Line a large baking tray with baking paper. The tray should be approx 20cm x 28cm
  3. In a large bowl, place your grated butter and flour. Use your fingertips to rub the butter into the flour until the mixture resembles coarse breadcrumbs.
  4. Add the baking powder, sugar and salt before giving this a quick mix together to combine.
  5. Add the buttermilk and vanilla to your bowl and mix well. The mixture should now be a coarse dough that forms together when pressed.
  6. Roll the dough out on to a floured surface until it is a large rectangle about 1cm thick.
  7. Prepare your filling by melting the butter in a small saucepan, add the remaining hazelnut spread, cocoa and sugar. Mix well until it forms a smooth paste
  8. Spread your filling over the entire surface of the rolled out dough. Then sprinkle the chocolate chips over your filling.
  9. Gently roll up your dough. Start along the long back edge and continue rolling loosely until you have a long spiraled roll.
  10. Use a serrated knife to cut off your scrolls. Theses should be 2-3cm thick.
  11. Arrange on your lined baking tray and brush the entire surface of the scrolls with cream.
  12. Bake at 150 degrees fan for 35 mins or until just golden and cooked through.
  13. Mix up icing with enough milk to make it a pouring consistency.
  14. Pour your icing over the scrolls and serve.
