As biscuit connoisseurs, we love to share our favourite recipes with you. Today we give you the bourbon biscuit, which could be defined as the biscuit of British childhood. We've updated this chocolate-y classic to include a delicious rich chocolate buttercream, we think it might almost be too good to dunk into a big glass of cold milk! To recreate our take on the classic, just follow these simple steps…

- Cook for 15-25 minutes depending on the size of your biscuits at 170°C, leave at least 15 minutes to cool before icing.
