- 8 sandwich biscuits
Ingredients
- 180 g plain flour

Method
Rub the butter into the flour and icing sugar, add the yolk and 1 tablespoon cold water, and bring the dough together. Chill for 25 minutes.
Roll the dough to 4 mm thick, cut 16 rounds with a 7 cm cutter, and bake at 180 C, or 160 C fan, for 12 to 14 minutes. Cool completely.
Spread eight biscuits with jam. Arrange two marshmallow halves on each and warm under a low grill just until soft.

Melt the chocolate with the oil, coat each sandwich, drain on a rack, and leave to set on baking paper.
