Bourbon Biscuits with nutella filling - Day 5

Today is the 5 th day of blogging marathon and I am going to give u the recipe for bourbon biscuits. Bourbon biscuits was in my mind ,when Nithu bala called felow bloggers to vote for her, in manjula's kitchen contest.I was impressed with her recipe and prepared these biscuits.But I didnt use her filling for the recipe.I used nutella as the filling for the biscuits.It tasted yummy.I skipped the adition of coffee powder either.

 Ingredients:

1. All Purpose Flour – 1 cup

2. Butter – ¼ cup

3. Sugar – 1/2 cup

4. Instant Coffee Powder - 1/2 tsp (Optional)

5. Baking Soda – 1/2 tsp

6. Baking Powder – 1/2 tsp

7. Cocoa – 1 tbs

8. Vanilla Essence – 3/4 tsp

9. Honey – 1.5 tsp

10. Milk - 3-4 tbs

For the Filling :

I used Nutella as a filling,but if u want to whip the cream then here is the recipe.

1. Butter – 1/4cup

2. Icing Sugar – 1/3 cup

3. Cocoa – 1 tsp

4. Vanilla Essence – 1 tsp

Method:
* Pre heat the oven at 325 degrees .
* Sieve the flour,cocoa powder,baking soda,baking powder,and combine these in a bowl.
* Take another bowl, add butter and sugar.Beat it well,untill sugar gets dissolved well.
*  Now add the honey and vanilla essence and mix.
* Now add all the dry ingredients and fold in the mixture.
* Slowly add milk and form a soft dough as shown in the picture.

* Sprinkle flour on a smooth surface,roll the dough into equal thicknessed rectangle.
* Divide the dough into equal sized small rectangles.
* With a fork,prik some holes and sprinkle some sugar on top of the biscuit.
* Place these biscuits on a greased cookie sheet.
* Bake the biscuit  degrees,at 325for 15 mins or until it becomes crisp.
* Cool completely and fill each biscuit with nutella .
* Place another biscuit on top of it ,like a sandwitch.
* Refrigirate the biscuits,for the nutella to become firm.

Alternatively,If u want to use butter cream filling,then combine all the ingredeints under "For filling" and spread it on the biscuit.This filling will become firm by itself,we need not want to refrigerate.

Note:
Knead the dough well without any cracks.Grease ur hands with butter ,and knead it .Dont bake it longer than 15 mins.Be cautious around 12 to 15 mins,there are several chances for the biscuit to burn.Mine burnt for the first batch.So be very cautious.Nutella will be some wat soggy,so refrigerate over night ,for the nutella to get firm.Pre heat the oven for atleast 20 minutes.
