145g unsalted butter
60g light Malt Extract
2.5g vanilla extract
185g plain flour

15g Malt Extract
5g icing sugar

For the biscuit
Pre-heat oven to 160°C. Cream butter, malt extract and vanilla together until soft. Mix in plain flour and bicarbonate of soda until smooth dough is formed. Roll into a ball, wrap in Clingfilm and leave to chill for 1 hour. Roll the dough to 4mm thickness and cut to shape – cut out a smaller shape in the centre for biscuit top. Place the biscuits on a greased baking tray and bake for 8 minutes – watch closely (they can easily burn). Remove from oven and leave to cool on the tray for 5 minutes before transferring to wire racking. Allow to cool completely.
For the biscuit cream
Mix Ovaltine and icing sugar together. In a separate bowl, soften the butter by mixing and slowly add icing sugar and Ovaltine a few tablespoons at a time. Once combined, beat together at high speed to soften. Chill in fridge for 25-30 minutes. Spread the biscuit cream onto biscuit base and smooth, then, gently twist the lid onto the biscuit.
For the glaze
Mix all the ingredients in a bowl and heat in a microwave for max 10 seconds so it is in a liquid state. Allow to cool slightly before brushing onto the biscuit lid. (This is best done just before serving and eating).
