Steps

  • Preheat the oven to 220°C and line three baking trays with greaseproof paper.
  • Mash butter and lard with a fork until creamy and mark into quarters.
  • Rub one quarter of the fat into flour and salt, then mix with vinegar and cold water to form a dough.
  • Roll the pastry on a floured surface to a 1cm thickness.
  • Dot a quarter of the fat over the pastry, fold into thirds, and repeat the rolling process three times.
  • Chill the wrapped pastry in the fridge for 30 minutes.
  • Dissolve brown sugar and butter on the hob, add condensed milk, boil briefly, and cool.
  • Roll pastry to 3mm thickness and cut into thirty-six 13cm x 8cm rectangles.
  • Prick 12 rectangles with a fork, dredge with icing sugar, and freeze for 5 minutes.
  • Bake frozen rectangles for 10-12 minutes at 220°C, then weight down with another tray and bake for 7-10 minutes more.
  • Bake the remaining 24 rectangles in two batches following the same method.
  • Whip double cream to stiff peaks, fold in liqueur and icing sugar, then chill in a piping bag.
  • Transfer cooled caramel to a bottle and chill.
  • Mix cocoa, icing sugar, and boiling water into a stiff paste.
  • Spread icing over 12 rectangles, add caramel lines, and feather with a toothpick.
  • Assemble by layering two un-iced rectangles with cream and caramel before topping with an iced rectangle.
