| Preparation | Pre-heat the oven to 160 C, Gas mark 3. Cream together the fat and the sugar with a wooden spoon, then beat in the syrup. Sift in the flour, cocoa and bicarbonate of soda together to make a dough. Knead well and roll out onto a well floured surface into a rectangular shape about 5mm thick. Cut into evenly sized slices about 3cm by 5cm and place onto a greased baking sheet. Bake for 15-20 minutes. Cool on a wire rack. To make the filling you need to mix the sifted icing sugar, fat, sugar cocoa and coffee (make sure it is dissolved if using instant coffee because otherwise you will get lumps). Beat until you have a smooth paste, sandwich the fingers together with a layer of filling and leave for a while for them to stick. |
