Instructions
GINGER SHORTBREAD:
Cream the butter and sugar.
Beat in the ginger, flour and salt.
Squeeze the ingredients into a shortbread paste, and chill for at least 30 minutes.
Roll out, cut into biscuits.
Bake at 330°F for about 12 minutes (depends on the size of your cookies)
ZESTY BUTTERCREAM
Whip the butter and salt.
Slowly add the sugar and cream.
Beat in the cream, zest and juice.
Chill.
CHILI BISCUITS
Cream the butter and sugar.
Beat in the eggs. Add and mix in the flour, cocoa and chili flakes.
Refrigerate the paste for at least 30 minutes before rolling, cutting and baking at 325°F for about 12 minutes.
ASSEMBLY:
Let the shortbread and biscuits cool completely, because it's no fun trying to put cold buttercream onto warm biscuits.
Put shortbread on the bottom, smooth on the buttercream, balance a chili biscuit on the top, and decorate with sifted powdered sugar and grated lime.
