For the biscuits

130g plain flour

30g cocoa powder

25g cornflour

100g unsalted butter, softened

90g caster sugar

2–3 tbsp milk

130g icing sugar

20g cocoa powder

1–2 tsp milk, if needed

Organic Porridge Oats

6 x 1kg pack

Preheat the oven to 170°C fan and line two baking trays with baking paper.
Add the Mornflake Organic Porridge Oats to a blender and blitz until they resemble a fine flour.
In a mixing bowl, cream together the softened butter and caster sugar until smooth.
Add the oat flour, plain flour, cocoa powder, cornflour and salt.
Mix until a crumbly dough forms, gradually adding the milk until the mixture comes together.
Wrap the dough and refrigerate for approximately 20 minutes.
Roll the dough between two sheets of baking paper until approximately 4–5mm thick.
Cut into 24 equal rectangles, approximately 3 × 7cm.
Transfer the biscuits to the prepared baking trays, leaving a little space between each one.
Use a fork or cocktail stick to create the traditional bourbon biscuit pattern on the surface.
Sprinkle lightly with caster sugar.
Bake for 12–15 minutes until firm around the edges.
Leave the biscuits to cool on the trays for 5 minutes before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely.
To make the buttercream, beat the softened butter until smooth and creamy.
Gradually add the icing sugar and cocoa powder, beating until light and fluffy.
Add a little milk if needed to achieve a smooth, pipeable consistency.
Transfer the buttercream to a piping bag.
Pipe an even layer of chocolate buttercream onto the underside of 12 biscuits.
Sandwich with the remaining biscuits, pressing gently to spread the filling evenly.
Leave the biscuits to set before serving.
