Instructions: Cream butter & sugar until light. Separate eggs (hm, she doesnt say how far - at least she doesnt instruct us to pinch the salt). Beat yolks into creamed mixture. Add ground almonds, almond essence and extra 1/2 cup milk. Beat whites stiffly & fold in.

Arrange the biscuits in 2 rows lengthwise. Dunk in rum and milk (just) and spread with almond mixture and then more biscuits. Continue and on top layer put a layer of almond and then cover each with whipped cream and toasted almonds. Keep chilled until ready to serve.

Hm, instructions are a little confusing. Ill ask her next time I see her if I can remember, but I think it might be easier to drizzle the rum/milk mixture on the biscuits rather than to dunk them. Whatever.
