Custard biscuits

Custard biscuits are a delightfully buttery and sweet treat that are perfect for any occasion. With their unique flavor and melt-in-the-mouth texture, they are a hit among both kids and adults. If you follow this simple recipe, you’ll create a batch of delicious custard biscuits that will surely impress your friends and family.

Ingredients:

1 cup butter
220g
1/2 cup powdered sugar
80g
1 tsp vanilla extract
4g
2 cups all-purpose white wheat flour
250g
1/2 cup vanilla extract
72g

Instructions:

1. Preheat the Oven:
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Line two baking sheets with parchment paper or silicone baking mats.
2. Cream the Butter and Sugar:
In a large mixing bowl, combine the softened butter and powdered sugar. Use an electric mixer on medium speed to cream them together until the mixture is light and fluffy, about 2-3 minutes.
3. Add Vanilla Extract:
Add the vanilla extract to the butter and sugar mixture. Beat until well combined.
4. Combine Dry Ingredients:
In a separate bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour and custard powder.
5. Mix Dry and Wet Ingredients:
Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients. Beat on low speed until just combined. The dough should be soft and pliable, but not sticky.
6. Form the Biscuits:
Using a tablespoon or a small cookie scoop, portion out the dough, rolling each piece into a ball. Place the dough balls onto the prepared baking sheets, spacing them about 2 inches apart.
7. Flatten the Biscuits:
Gently flatten each ball of dough with the back of a fork, creating a slight indentation and a decorative pattern on top.
8. Bake:
Bake in the preheated oven for 12-15 minutes, or until the edges are lightly golden.
9. Cool:
Remove from the oven and let the biscuits cool on the baking sheets for about 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
10. Serve:
Enjoy your custard biscuits as a delightful treat with tea, coffee, or as a sweet snack.

Tips:

- Ensure the butter is at room temperature before you start. This makes it easier to cream it with the powdered sugar.

- Sift the powdered sugar and flour to avoid any lumps and ensure a smooth dough.

- Mix the dough just enough to combine the ingredients. Overmixing can make the biscuits tough.

- For added flavor, you can add a pinch of salt to balance the sweetness.

- Chill the dough for about 15-20 minutes before baking. This helps in maintaining the shape of the biscuits.

There you have it – a simple yet delightful recipe for homemade custard biscuits! These biscuits make an excellent snack or dessert and can be enjoyed with a cup of tea or coffee. Enjoy the rich, buttery flavor and the soft, crumbly texture that makes these biscuits truly special. Happy baking!
