Discover Baking Kit: Chocolate Sandwich Biscuit
Method
Step 1:
Before you start:
Keep 1 tbsp of the flour and cocoa blend from the bag (for dusting).
Cover 2 baking trays with baking parchment.
Carefully cut out both the square and round templates.Step 2:
Combine the caster sugar, flour & cocoa blend in a bowl with a spoon. Chop the butter into cubes and add to your mixture. Rub in the butter with your fingertips (until it looks like breadcrumbs), then form a ball with your chocolatey dough.
Step 3:
Dust your surface with the 1 tbsp of the flour & cocoa blend you’d set aside earlier and roll out the dough to the thickness of a £1 coin. Lightly press the square template onto the dough and carefully cut around it using a cutlery knife. Remember to cut a window with the round template in half of the biscuits. Put each biscuit onto your baking tray and leave them to chill in the freezer for 20 mins.
Step 4:
Pre-heat your oven to 180C/160C/Gas 4 and bake your biscuits for 10 mins. Remove from the oven and place your biscuits on a cooling rack. They’ll soon harden up.
Step 5:
Make the buttercream by mixing together the icing sugar, butter and milk until smooth. Then, when the biscuits are cool, pair them together by spreading buttercream onto one side of a whole biscuit and topping it with a biscuit with a window in it. Now decorate the window with sprinkles!
