Homemade Custard Creams (How to Woo a Brit)
A traditional and classic British biscuit (cookie) which melts in your mouth and just tastes so good!
Ingredients
- 1 ⅓ cup flour all purpose (plain)
- ½ cup custard powder (Bird’s Custard Powder-available on Amazon and in British shops)
- 6 oz butter good quality, salted, room temperature
- ½ cup powdered sugar (icing sugar)
- ¼ tsp baking soda
Filling
- 1 oz butter good quality, room temperature
- ½ cup powdered sugar (icing sugar)
- 4 drops vanilla extract
- ½ tsp milk more or less as needed for desired consistency
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C)
- Sift the flour, custard powder and baking soda into a bowl and set aside.
- Cream the butter and sugar for about 3 minutes, then add the sifted flour, custard and soda and mix well.
- Form into rounds, about the size of a walnut and place on a lined baking tray, leaving room to expand. Press with a fork into the top of each round, twice: once horizontally, and once vertically, to look like a cross-hatch.
- Bake near the middle of the oven for 15 to 18 minutes until the bottoms just begin to slightly color. Remove from tray and allow to cool completely on cooling rack.
- Mix the butter, powdered sugar and vanilla until creamy.
- Then use the buttercream to sandwich two of the custard creams together. Repeat until all the biscuits have been coupled.
- Store in an airtight container for up to a week.
Notes
- This recipe makes 15 custard creams (30 single biscuits sandwiched together.)
