Instructions:
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Line two baking sheets with parchment paper or silicone baking mats.
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.
Add the vanilla extract to the butter and sugar mixture. Beat until well combined.
In a separate bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour and custard powder.
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.
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.
Gently flatten each ball of dough with the back of a fork, creating a slight indentation and a decorative pattern on top.
Bake in the preheated oven for 12-15 minutes, or until the edges are lightly golden.
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.
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!
