Ingredients
- 250 gms butter
- 4 tbs icing sugar
- 4 tbs custard powder
- 1 1/2 cups plain flour
- 1 1/2 cups icing sugar (icing)
- 2 1/2 tbs butter (icing)
- 2 tsp vanilla extract (icing)
Directions
- Cream butter and icing sugar until pale and fluffy. In a separate bowl, sift custard powder and flour together.
- Continue beating butter mixture whilst adding the flour mixture, a couple of tablespoons at a time, until all combined.
- Roll into 24 balls, working quickly so the mixture remains cool. Refrigerate the uncooked biscuits for 3-5 minutes so they hold their shape when cooked.
- With a fork, press down to flatten tops of the biscuits slightly. Bake at 150C for 15-20 minutes.
- Icing. Beat icing sugar, butter and vanilla until light and fluffy. Divide the mixture on 12 of the cookies and join together. Use quality butter, not margarine for an absolutely heavenly taste.
