They were pretty fun and easy to make, a great weekend baking recipe! I gave up trying to make them all the same size, so I just made a variety of sizes. The recipe doesn't make very many (only 12 biscuits) so they might not be around for very long!
You will need:
60g unsalted butter
65g light brown soft sugar
110g plain flour
25g cocoa
2 tbsp double cream
1/4 tsp bicarbonate of soda
pinch of salt
granulated sugar
Filling:
25g unsalted butter
40g icing sugar
1/2 tbsp cocoa
1/2 tbsp double cream (I found it needed a bit more than this)
1. Preheat the oven to 170C
2. In a food processor, blitz unsalted butter, light brown soft sugar, plain flour, cocoa, double cream, bicarbonate of soda and salt.
3. Knead lightly to bring together.
4. Roll out to 0.5cm thick, cut into about 24 rectangles (5cm x 2.5cm).
5. Punch in the trademark indents with the base of a wooden skewer (I used a fork)
6. Sprinkle with granulated sugar.
7. Chill for 20 minutes.
8. Bake for 10 minutes, cool on a wire rack.
9. For the filling, beat together unsalted butter, icing sugar, cocoa and double cream.
10. Sandwich a little between two biscuits (makes 12).
They definitely look homemade and sadly don't taste as good as the real thing! The icing sugar in the filling makes them a bit more sickly, a creamier filling would be better. As biscuits though they are still yummy!
