HOMEMADE BOURBON BISCUIT RECIPE

Steps:

• 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 minutes, turning half way through baking time to assure even results.
• Place on cooling rack and let cool before filling them.
• 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!

BOURBON BISCUITS

Steps:

• Beat the butter and sugar together until creamy, then mix in the rest of the ingredients. Add a splash of milk if the mixture looks a bit dry - it should come together as a dough.
• Line three baking sheets, dust lightly with flour, then roll and pat one-third of the dough out to the thickness of a £1 coin on each. Cover and freeze for 15 mins.
• Heat oven to 180C/160C fan/gas 4. Slide the dough off the trays and put a new piece of parchment on each. Trim the edges of the dough to straighten, then cut into rectangles, roughly 6 x 3cm. Lift each one carefully onto the tray, leaving some space between them as they'll expand. Bourbons usually have a pricked pattern, so use a cocktail stick to do this if you want (not too many or they'll break up). Put the dough back in the freezer if it gets too soft.
• Bake for 8-10 mins, then leave to cool on the sheet as the biscuits will be soft when they're hot. Sprinkle over some sugar. Will keep for a week in an airtight container.
• Meanwhile, make the filling. Beat the butter and icing sugar together, then divide the mixture into three. Add the cocoa to one lot, a dot of pink colour to another, and leave the last one plain (add a little more icing sugar if you need to). Spoon each into a piping bag or a sandwich bag with the corner snipped off.
• When the biscuits have cooled completely, pipe the icings onto half of them, then sandwich together with the other halves. Leave to set.
