Technique

• STEP 1

  Beat the butter and sugar collectively till creamy, then combine in the remainder of the elements. Add a splash of milk if the combination seems to be a bit dry – it ought to come collectively as a dough.

• STEP 2

  Line three baking sheets, mud flippantly with flour, then roll and pat one-third of the dough out to the thickness of a £1 coin on every. Cowl and freeze for 15 minutes.

• STEP 3

  Warmth oven to 180C/160C fan/fuel 4. Slide the dough off the trays and put a brand new piece of parchment on every. Trim the sides of the dough to straighten, then minimize into rectangles, roughly 6 x 3cm. Carry every one fastidiously onto the tray, leaving some house between them as they’ll increase. Bourbons normally have a pricked sample, so use a cocktail stick to do that if you need (not too many or they’ll break up). Put the dough again within the freezer if it will get too tender.

• STEP 4

  Bake for 8-10 minutes, then depart to chill on the sheet because the biscuits will probably be tender after they’re scorching. Sprinkle over some sugar. Will maintain for per week in an hermetic container.

• STEP 5

  In the meantime, make the filling. Beat the butter and icing sugar collectively, then divide the combination into three. Add the cocoa to 1 lot, a dot of pink color to a different, and depart the final one plain (add a bit of extra icing sugar if you’ll want to). Spoon every right into a piping bag or a sandwich bag with the nook snipped off.

• STEP 6

  When the biscuits have cooled fully, pipe the icings onto half of them, then sandwich along with the opposite halves. Depart to set.
