Another Flea Market rescue - enjoy!

I made some today and took photos and they turned out quite good indeed

Hi Sasha

This looks really good, and I am so glad this has been rescued from Flea Market.

You've written the recipe out very clearly and it seems easy to follow. I guess that as you've tested the recipe you've eaten the proof.

My only query is that of whether the cream filling would make the biscuits soggy if you kept them for a while?

Oh and perhaps a word or two to explain the differences between the US meaning of biscuit and that of us Brits?

I am tempted to make them myself now!

Nice entry - two points:


{The Bourbon Biscuit - familiarly known as just 'Bourbon', probably because each is stamped with the word Bourbon...}

Really? Isn't it just an abbreviation for a long name?


{Lard, vegetable shortening, or butter for greasing the baking tray (in order of preference)}

Ascending or descending order of preference?

Looks good. I guess my only comment is that the title looks a little odd. I've never see the words 'Homemade recipe'. If it's a recipe it's nearly always home made, unless you're an industrial food manufacturer.

What about 'How to make 'Nearly Bourbon Biscuits' at home'?

Thanks everyone

'Biscuit' clarification added, plus a mention of how long they will last

I've amended the first paragraph, and added 'descending order'

I've updated the title (was trying to distinguish between Bourbons as being industrially manufactured and these being a non-commercial version, but 'Nearly Bourbon Biscuits' covers that anyway )

Making them was useful indeed - clarified some points in the original Entry, and proved that they are indeed tasty!

Yay!!

Photos

Keep them somewhere safe, you never know when you'll be needing them!

Ps I love Bourbons

Nothing to add as far as review goes, for now, but I wanted to say I have a recipe for vegan tiramisu that calls for Bourbon Biscuits, and I cannot find anyone local who imports them. So this is a very timely recipe!

Oh goody. I meant to try this recipe out while it was in PR, but you've beaten me to it now. Still, no reason not to.

Thanks everyone!
