Rachel's Wagon Wheels

This is my attempt at a Wagon Wheel, to be honest, nothing like it but delicious all the same!


Ingredients:

For the Biscuit:

60g butter

1/2 cup sugar

1 egg

1 tsp vanilla essence

1 Tbs custard powder

2/3 cup plain flour

2/3 cup self-raising flour

 

For the marshmallow:

1 Tbs gelatine

1 cup sugar

3/4 cup water

1 tsp vanilla essence

 

1/4 cup raspberry jam, warmed and strained to remove seeds

120g dark chocolate

 

Method:

For the Biscuit:

Cream together the butter and sugar until light and creamy.

Add egg and vanilla and beat until combined.

Fold in the custard powder and flours.

Knead gently until smooth.

Roll out the dough to 4mm thick and using a 5cm circle cutter cut out rounds.

Bake in pre-heated oven 180 degrees for 12 mins or until golden.

Cool on wire rack.

 

For the marshmallow:

Combine gelatine, sugar and water in a saucepan and stir over heat until sugar and gelatine has dissolved.

Bring to the boil and boil gently, uncovered and without stirring for 6 mins.

Pour into small bowl and allow to cool to lukewarm.

Add vanilla and beat with electric beater until thick and creamy.

 

To assemble the Biscuits:
