custard biscuits

[Ceejay]

One of my favourites from my childhood but this recipe is adapted from Taste.com.au http://www.taste.com.au/recipes/1623/custard+biscuits.  

Custard biscuits

Ingredients
250g butter, softened
60g pure icing sugar
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
250g plain flour
60g custard powder

Preheat oven to 180 deg c and line trays with baking paper.

Put butter, sugar and vanilla into bowl.  Speed 5 for 20 secs until well combined.

Scrape down sides with a spatula and add flour and custard powder.  Pulse on turbo until just mixed.  Don't over process or biscuits will have a coarser texture instead of melting in the mouth.

Roll heaped teaspoons full of mixture into balls and place on baking trays.  

Press with floured fork to flatten slightly and bake for 12 - 15 mins until light golden.

Stand on trays for 2 minutes before transferring to wire rack to cool.

Em - these are yummy, I made them yesterday and they are going fast! thanks ceejay

Chookie - made these exactly as stated, delicious.  Thanks .    Made 20 doubles, stuck together with passionfruit icing.

VHJ - they are delicious. Will definitely be making them again & will try some using the plum paste to make jam drops. Thanks Ceejay - a really easy & scrumptious biscuit.

Debbiebillg - Mmmmmm, made these but with cornflour instead of custard powder as I didn't have any.  I'm going to make some icing shortly to sandwich them, mmm yummy.  Thank you. 

DJ - Family voted best biscuits ever ( not counting choc chip)  Changed custard powder to cornflour, added 10 g more sugar. Thanks so much for this recipe.

Uni - Thanks from me 2 Ceejay.

Chookie - made them again, this time with a chocolate button pushed into the centre.

snappy - I whipped up a quick batch yesterday to take to morning tea.  They are fantastic but way too dangerous to have sitting around the house - there is a whole block of butter in those things! Couldn't be bothered making butter cream so I used some lemon butter I had in the freezer to sandwich a couple together - lemon melting moments!

I also reduce the flour by 30 grams and substitute 30 grams cocoa.  I then add a couple of pinches of Himalayan pink salt.  And then I give them the super glamorous name of salted chocolate melting moments!"

deedub - Just made these and they are soooo good! Must. Not. Eat. Anymore.

I think so Thermomixer, although my mum used to call them butter biscuits.

They are also lovely sandwiched together with passionfruit butter icing... Mmmmmm

Ceejay,  made these thismorning,  exactly as stated, delicious.  Thanks     Made 20 doubles, stuck together with passionfruit icing.

I'm glad you are all enjoying them as much as my family do! 

They are always popular for school/kindy birthday celebrations and my youngest can eat them too as the custard powder I use doesn't contain egg. 

They go great with a latte as per my photo too.  Shhh don't tell my kids.
