Product Information

My preference is the yo-yo one for sure, despite the colour thing, due to the unique custard flavour. Once the eggs are fully incorporated add half of the flour and mix to combine, add the milk, custard powder and vanilla extract followed by the remaining flour and mix again.

Yes, I know I’ve just started with a deep favourite, but …) I do, however, love the fact that ALL custard cream’s are decorated with the weird swirly patterns (I think they’re supposed to be ferns). Step One: Fit an electric mixer with the paddle attachment and sift the flour, baking powder, custard powder and icing sugar into the bowl. Tesco had a reasonably good biscuit that had lots of flavour both in the biscuits but also in the chocolate filling that was sandwiching them together.

Cornflour / cornstarch – This is what gives shortbread cookies the signature soft “crumbly” texture. They are quite similar to shortbread in that they’re made up of a basic mix of fat, flour and sugar. Older-style recipes, such as the original Women’s Weekly recipe, tended to use icings which are not as creamy but firmer and a bit crumbly.

I followed this recipe to the letter but was disappointed by the texture of the pastry It was hard rather than crunchy. Mix everything together until it begins to stick, then use your hands to press it together into a ball of dough. They can then be wrapped in a double layer of cling film or placed in a freezer bag and frozen for up to 3 months. Her blog is a must-read for anyone looking for filling and delicious recipe ideas, that reduce waste and minimise stress.Step Two: Using a palette knife or butter knife spread over a layer of buttercream onto half the biscuits. All you’ll need is a ruler or tape measurement to cut out the rectangle shapes- this will ensure that the baking time stays the same as if you were to use the stamp.

I'd forgotten that but yes, you are right, the biscuits from the tins were always disappointing compared to the packets. If you’re from the UK, you’ll probably know all about the delicious delight that is the Custard Cream biscuit. Custard Cream biscuits are crunchy, custard-flavoured sandwich biscuits filled with vanilla buttercream. If you make a purchase through one of those links, BakedByClo will receive a small commission from the purchase at no additional cost to you.

Next, pair up the biscuits with another half that is roughly the same size and shape (as they will vary slightly). Turning off the personalised advertising setting won’t stop you from seeing Etsy ads, but it may make the ads you see less relevant or more repetitive. The dough is quite sticky, and cooling it stiffens it up, making it easier to roll, and reducing the risk of it spreading as it bakes. Alternatively, you can use a toothpick to make dots around the edges of the biscuits for a more elegant look. So, I’d advise either freezing the custard cream biscuit dough raw, wrapped in clingfilm, or in a sealed freezer bag.
