The biscuit tin in my house empties way too quickly and I do get to a point where I refuse to buy more. Partly because I'm all too often the guilty party dipping into it and whilst they're there for the eating.....!My daughter made these biscuits for a homework assignment a couple of years ago and they were a great success, so I decided to make them again today.
Biscuits
250g/8oz butter
1 cup caster sugar
1 egg
1 tsp vanilla extract
2¼ cups plain flour
½ custard powder
1½ tsp baking powder
Icing
1 cup icing sugar
2 tbsp soft butter
½ tsp vanilla extract
2 tbsp condensed milk
1. Cream butter and sugar together until light and fluffy.
2. Gradually add all other ingredients, chill for ten minutes.
3. Break off pieces and roll into balls the size of a walnut and place on an ungreased baking sheet. You can make them as big or little as you like.
4. Press down balls with a fork to flatten slightly and then bake at 180C / 350F / Gas 4 for 15 minutes (shorter or longer depending on how big you make the balls).5. Cool on a wire rack. When totally cool, mix all icing ingredients together, chill mix for ten minutes, then use to sandwich biscuits together.
6. Find a willing volunteer to try out the first one!
