Directions

45 min.
1. Step

Preheat your oven to 180°C (350°F) and line two baking trays with parchment paper.

2. Step

In a large bowl, combine flour, custard powder, confectioners' sugar, cornstarch, and a pinch of salt. Mix the ingredients thoroughly.

3. Step

Add the softened butter to the dry ingredients. Using your fingers, gently work the butter into the dry mix until it forms a soft dough. Do not overmix.

4. Step

Roll the dough into balls approximately the size of a walnut and place them on the prepared baking tray, ensuring space for expansion.

5. Step

Press the back of a fork onto each dough ball to flatten it slightly and create a pattern.

6. Step

Bake for 12-15 minutes or until lightly golden.

7. Step

While the biscuits are cooling, prepare the filling by combining butter, confectioners' sugar and custard powder. Gradually add heavy cream until the texture is creamy and smooth.

8. Step

Once the biscuits are completely cooled, spoon or pipe a dollop of filling onto a biscuit and press another biscuit on top.

9. Step

Repeat with the rest of the biscuits and filling.

10. Step

Store in an air-tight container and serve within 2 days for best freshness.
