  • would you be able to share the recipe for the bourbon creams please



    The recipe is from an old Be-Ro book and makes approx. 30-40 biscuits giving 15-20 creams when paired up.


    Biscuits
    100g/4oz butter or marg
    100g/4oz castor sugar
    1 egg
    200g/8oz plain flour
    15ml/1 tbsp. cocoa


    Filling
    15ml/1 tbsp. cocoa
    50g/20z butter
    100g/4oz icing sugar


    Castor sugar to dust


    1 - Cream together fat and sugar till light and fluffy
    2 - Add egg and stir in flour and cocoa
    3 - Knead well and roll out to 2.5mm or 1/8th inch
    4 - Cut into fingers, !!!!! with fork and dust with castor sugar
    5 - Place on lightly greased baking trays
    6 - Bake for 10-12 mins at 160*C/325*F/Gas Mark 3


    7 - Cream together butter, cocoa and icing sugar
    8 - Sandwich biscuits together when cool


    If you don't have cocoa then drinking chocolate works fine but will make slightly paler biscuits.
