These are deliciously melt-in-the-mouth. Because they are sandwiched together, use a smaller cookie cutter to make the mix go a little further.

These are so easy to make and so delicious they really won’t last long!!!

You will need:

150g Plain Flour

40g Custard Powder

40g Icing Sugar

130g Unsalted Butter – at room temperature

2tsp Milk

1/2 tsp Vanilla Extract

For the filling:

50g Unsalted Butter

50g Icing Sugar

1Tbsp Custard Powder

1 Tbsp Milk

You will also need:

Baking Tray & Baking Paper

Circle cutters – assorted sizes

What to do:

For the biscuits:

Put the Plain Flour, Custard Powder and Icing Sugar in a bowl and mix to combine. Add the butter in small pieces and rub with fingertips to make a sandy consistency. Pour in the Milk and Vanilla Extract and bring together, with your hands, to a dough. Pop into the fridge for half an hour.

Roll out the dough between two sheets of baking paper to about the thickness of a £1 coin. (Using baking paper makes rolling out less messy and doesn’t affect the dough like using a floured board would!)

Cut out your biscuits using your cookie cutter. Gather any remaining dough and re-roll to cut out more biscuits.

Place the biscuits on a baking tray and pop back in the fridge while you preheat the oven to 180° (160° Fan).

Bake for about 10-15 minutes – until they are just starting to colour. Leave to cool on a rack.

For the filling: they see, hear, touch, taste and smell

Stir the butter (using a hand mixer or a wooden spoon) until smooth and fluffy. Add the Custard Powder and Icing Sugar and cream together. Add the milk to make the mix a bit softer.

When the biscuits are cool, spread a little filling mix onto the back of one biscuit and sandwich together with another biscuit.

Enjoy!
