Bourbon Biscuits | Homemade Bourbon Biscuits recipe with step by step instructions and pictures. Bourbon biscuits are chocolate cream biscuits where chocolate cream is sandwiched between biscuits. It is favorite to everyone. In our home my hubby as well as my daughter likes it a lot. So I thought of trying in home. As with any recipe I was browsing and came across this recipe. It was huge hit in first attempt itself. It was so good exactly matching store bought biscuits. Next time I tried with half wheat and half maida and then with whole wheat flour making few changes. It comes out so good every time and nowadays no more bourbon biscuits from store.

This is not very much time consuming process. Process of making these biscuits involves two steps. First making the biscuits and then chocolate cream. While the biscuits are baking we can prepare the cream so it saves time. Please do try and let me know your feedback.
