FOR THE BISCUITS

200g soft unsalted butter
80g golden caster sugar, plus extra to scatter (optional)
20g soft dark brown sugar
2 medium eggs, lightly beaten
300g plain flour
100g cocoa powder
1 tsp baking powder
golden syrup

FOR THE FILLING

         150g unsalted butter, softened
        360g icing sugar,sifted
        4tbsp coca powder
        pink food colouring

                    


Method

  • STEP 1

    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.

  • STEP 2

    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.

  • STEP 3

    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.

  • STEP 4

    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.

  • STEP 5

    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 color to another, and leave the last one plain (add a little more icing sugar if you need to). Spoon each into a pipin bag or a sandwich bag with the corner snipped off.

    • STEP 6

      When the biscuits have cooled completely, pipe the icings onto half of them, then sandwich together with the other halves. Leave to se

    • FAQ:

      1. What is a Bourbon Biscuit?

        • Bourbon Biscuits are popular chocolate sandwich cookies that consist of two cocoa-flavored biscuits filled with a creamy bourbon-flavored filling.

      2. Can I make Bourbon Biscuits without bourbon?

        • Yes, you can skip adding bourbon to the filling if you prefer a non-alcoholic version. The biscuits will still taste delicious!

      3. Can I use any type of cocoa powder?

        • It's best to use unsweetened cocoa powder to achieve the right balance of flavors. Sweetened cocoa powder may make the biscuits too sugary.

      4. How can I adjust the sweetness of the biscuits?

        • You can adjust the sweetness by increasing or decreasing the amount of granulated sugar in the dough and filling according to your taste preferences.

      5. Can I substitute butter with margarine or oil?

        • While butter is the traditional choice, you can try using margarine for a dairy-free option or oil for a slightly different texture. However, the taste may vary slightly.

      6. How long do Bourbon Biscuits stay fresh?

        • When stored in an airtight container at room temperature, Bourbon Biscuits can stay fresh for about a week.

      7. Can I freeze Bourbon Biscuits?

        • Yes, you can freeze the unfilled biscuits. Just place them in a freezer-safe container with parchment paper between each layer to prevent sticking.

      8. What's the best way to fill the biscuits with cream?

        • Using a piping bag or a spoon, dollop the bourbon-flavored cream filling on one biscuit and gently press another biscuit on top to create a sandwich.

      9. Can I add other flavors to the cream filling?

        • Absolutely! You can experiment with different extracts like mint, orange, or almond to add unique flavors to the filling.

      10. Can I make the biscuits ahead of time for an event?

      • Yes, you can make the biscuits in advance and assemble them with the filling closer to the event to ensure they stay fresh and crispy.
