Instructions
  1. Put flour in a bowl with salt and sugar and yeast. Give a quick stir then add butter and three- quarters of the water. Mix and continue adding water until you have a soft but not soggy dough.
  2. Knead the dough for 5- 10 minutes, do not add too much flour for dusting. Put the dough into a bowl, cover and let it rise until it doubles ( up to 3 hours).
  3. Dust the work surface, tip the dough onto it and fold it many times, until all the air is knocked out. Divide in 60 g pieces.
  4. Take the pieces you are not rolling covered with cling film. Roll each piece into a boll then spread it with a rollpin ( they are a little bit hard to spread, the dough tries to " come back" but it's normal).
  5. Heat a pan on fire and grease it with some oil; put one dough round in the pan and fry for 2 minutes. Flip the bread and cook the other side for 1 minute. Stack them one on another.

Ingredients

For the whisky cream:
Instructions
  1. For the dodgers: beat sugar and butter until fluffy, add flour and semolina and mix with a spatula then by hand pushing the crumbles together until you have a loaf. Cover it with cling film and store in fridge for at least one hour.
  2. For the whisky cream: put milk cream and chocolate in a saucepan, put this saucepan into a bigger pot half filled with hot water ( the classic bain- marie). Stir until the chocolate is melted and the ganache is shiny; add the whisky, stir briefly and set aside. When cold store in fridge at least two hours to reach a spreadable consistency.
  3. Spread the dough with a rollpin and cut big cookies. The cookies must be even, then in half of them cut a hole in the midde with a smaller cookie cutter. Put the baking tray with cookies into the fridge for about 20 minutes before baking.
  4. Bake at 300°F for about 10- 15 minutes or until light golden. Take them off the oven and let them cold well. When hot the cookies are very crumbly and soft, do not touch them.
  5. When the cookies are cold or even the day after ( so they set firm) pair two cookies, one plain and one with the hole using a generous amount of whisky cream. You can store them in a tin box for some days.

For the caramel sauce:
Instructions
For the ice cream:
  1. Put the milk in a sauce pan with sugar and opened vanilla pod. Let it simmer until sugar is melted, let it cool and store it into the fridge.
  2. Whip the milk cream then add milk mixture in it, stirring slowly. At this time, if you have an ice maker, pour the mixture in it and let it go until the ice cream is done. Store into the freezer and mix it by hand or with the ice cream makerbefore serving it if you need. If you don't have an ice cream maker just pour everything in a bowl, store into the freezer and mix it every 30 minutes or so. It needs hours to get hard so don't worry if it's still soft after half a day. Just let it sit into the fridge and mix sometimes.
For the caramel sauce:
  1. Put sugar and butter in a sauce pan, let it cook until it has a gold- brown colour. Pay attention it turns black quickly! Add heavy cream stirring until the sauce thickens and cover the spoon.
  2. When the ice cream is ready serve it with caramel sauce on top. Don't use hot caramel sauce as the ice cream melts quickly on its own, just keep the sauce cold or room temperature.
