Custard Cream Biscuits
I've had this recipe for custard cream biscuits since the kids were small. It makes delicious biscuits.
Ingredients
Makes: 12 biscuits
- 55g (2 oz) margarine or butter
- 55g (2 oz) sugar
- 1/2 teaspoon vanilla essence
- 70g (2.5 oz) plain flour or cornflour
- 40g (1.5 oz) custard powder
- 1/2 an egg
Method
Prep:10min ›
Cook:10min ›
Ready in:20min
- Cream marg or butter with the sugar and flavouring.
- Sift flour and custard powder and add to creamed marg.
- Mix the enough egg to make a stiff but pliable dough.
- Roll out thinly on a floured board and cut into shapes.
- Bake in a moderate oven 180 C / Gas Mark 4.
Serving suggestion
Ice with water icing or sandwich together with butter icing using 3oz icing sugar and a little butter.
Substitution
I prefer to use butter for all my baking but this makes the biscuits quite rich.

Just tried to make this and it turned out like cake mix, I don't think the egg should be added, will try without egg . I've not wasted the mix made 9 cup cakes. - 09 Feb 2018
Yummy reminded me of my primary school. A firm family favourite in our house. I tweaked by using coca aswell as custard. Yummy. - 09 Jul 2016
