Let's Bake The easiest way to follow a recipe Vegetarian Reviews 07 September 2020 5 star rating The best biscuit recipe I use. They are very rich and chocolatey and the cream filling is made extra smooth and creamy by the custard powder (although I omitted this from the recipe for the fist 5 or 6 batches). I also use a mini round cutter to make bite size biscuits. This works well as the biscuits are soo rich. I get approx 30 filled biscuits using a small cutter. These look great and go down really well with a cuppa. 06 April 2020 1 star rating Not went well 04 February 2020 5 star rating Fantastic - you will never buy a packet again as they will never live up to this recipe. So rick and delicious. Custard powder nice (adds a creamy texture to the butter cream) but not essential. I also do these using the smallest round cookie cutter as they are soo rich and then they seem to go further. 21 April 2018 5 star rating Fantastic recipe. Made for the children who have said they no longer want shop bought bourbon biscuits ever again! 25 August 2017 5 star rating I was looking for a bourbon recipe that also shows you how to make the cream for a while. This recipe made about 25 bourbons that taste just like the ones you buy from a shop! I rolled the dough out much thinner and cut smaller rectangles so that they were the same size as a regular bourbon, but apart from that I followed the recipe exactly.
