About the bake
In America they call them Moon Pies, and in England we call them Wagon Wheels.. But whatever name they go by I think we can all agree they are delicious!
Method
Step 1:
Preheat the oven to 190°C/170° fan/Gas Mark 5 and line 2 baking trays with baking parchment.
Step 2:
In a large bowl, rub together the flours and butter until you have coarse breadcrumbs.
Step 3:
Stir in the sugar.
Step 4:
Gently beat the egg and vanilla together, add this to the rest of the mixture and bring together to form a soft dough.
Step 5:
Wrap and chill for one hour.
Step 6:
Roll out the dough a little at a time on a floured surface. Cut out circles with a 2 ½ inch cutter.
Step 7:
Bake for 10 minutes. Cool for a few minutes on the tray before cooling completely on a rack. You may need to bake the biscuits in batches, as there should be 24.
Step 8:
Melt 150g of the chocolate in a bowl over some simmering water.
Step 9:
Select 12 biscuits and place on a rack over a baking tray. Coat one side of these biscuits with chocolate, then chill until set. These will be the bases of the Wagon Wheels.
Step 10:
Fill a piping bag with Marshmallow Fluff and another with your jam. Line baking tray with some clean parchment.
Step 11:
Once set, turn the base biscuits with the chocolate side facing down onto the clean piece of baking parchment. Pipe marshmallow fluff onto each one and top this with a little jam. Top this with the remaining biscuits to make a sandwich. Chill in the freezer for 30 minutes.
Step 12:
Melt 300g of chocolate in a bowl over some simmering water.
Step 13:
Place the chilled biscuits on a rack over a clean baking tray. Coat each one in chocolate by gently spooning it over and coating the sides.
Step 14:
Place in the fridge to set and eat within 3 days.
