Description

Classic Bourbon Biscuits are simply chocolate sandwich biscuits with a chocolate cream filling. This recipe requires custard powder to give them their unique flavour. Biscuit cutters you can order from Amazon, however it wonâ€™t matter because youâ€™ll fall in love these chocolate cookies anyway.

Ingredients

Biscuit dough:
1 1/3 cup (6 oz) all purpose (plain) flour
1/2 cup (2 oz) custard powder (Birdâ€™s custard powder available on Amazon and in British shops)
1/4 cup (1 oz) unsweetened cocoa
1 stick (4 oz) butter
1/2 cup (4 oz) caster sugar
1 egg

Filling:
1 cup (4 oz) confectioner's/powdered sugar
1/4 stick (1 oz) butter
2 tbsp unsweetened cocoa
A few drops of milk or water

Directions

Preheat oven to 350Â°F (175Â°C).

Sift flour, custard powder and cocoa into a large bowl.

Cream butter and sugar, then stir in the egg. Add the sifted ingredients from the other bowl and mix to an even dough.

Place onto worktop and using flour, roll out to about 1/8" thickness and cut into fingers.

Place on lined baking tray.

Bake for about 12 to 15 min, turning half way through baking time to assure even results.

Place on cooling rack and let cool before filling them.

Bourbon Biscuit Cream Filling:
Mix all the ingredients together to form a stiff buttercream. Adjust with a few drops of liquid; just don't make the filling too soft.

Match up two biscuits at a time (they won't all be exactly the same size, believe it or not) and sandwich together with the filling.

Continue until all the biscuits and filling are used.

Enjoy with a steaming hot cup of tea!
