Ingredients
â€¢ 125g butter, softened

â€¢ 1 cup caster sugar

â€¢ 1 egg, at room temperature

â€¢ 1/2 teaspoon vanilla essence

â€¢ 1 1/2 cups self-raising flour

â€¢ 1/2 cup custard powder

â€¢ 80g white chocolate, roughly chopped

Method
Preheat oven to 180°C. Line 2 baking trays with baking paper.
Using an electric mixer, cream butter and sugar until light and fluffy. Add egg and vanilla. Beat until well combined.
Sift flour and custard powder together over butter mixture. Add white chocolate and stir until mixture forms a soft dough.
Roll tablespoonfuls of mixture into balls. Place on prepared trays, allowing room for spreading. Using a fork, press dough to flatten slightly. Bake for 10 to 12 minutes or until golden. Stand on trays for 5 minutes. Transfer to a wire rack to cool. Serve.

I loved this at it was very simple, my son Clayton helped with them & could do most of it by himself, he just needed help with measuring, and holding the beater.

They have a great texture, and I couldnt stop myself from eating a couple hot from the oven... :shocked: The are quite crunchy once cooled. I think they would be great with some chopped macadamia nuts added. And maybe drizzled with white choc.

tried this recipe or a similar one? share your tips...

I just made these with dark chocolate and chopped walnuts (as that was what I had on hand) and they turned out beautifully. A really nice, crunchy biscuit that tastes fantastic. So easy to make, will use this recipe again. Thanks frizz1974!

Terrific. i will never by biscuits ever again. needed a recipe using custard powder, because i was cleaning out cupboard between Xmas & NY & found some custard powder that needed to be used up. i have now even bought new custard powder to make them again. i had initially stopped buying it because my husband bought me a double saucepan so i could make proper custard from scratch

I made these biscuits this afternoon because i was proper bored and they were the first recipe for custard biscuits to pop up on google. Though i forgot to put the egg in, i thought they were quite dry but just persumed thats because they were biccies not cookies. They were still YUM though. I am only 13 and my sister agrees with me (on the basis that i am a fool, and they taste good).

I LOVE custard biscuits, the texture of them is fantastic! I remember making them at school in cooking classes where we made a chocolate butter icing and stuck two custard biscuits together with it and called them yoyos! Truely yummy!

These are very yummy - I halfed the recipe,left out the chocolate and added pecan nuts to the top of half the biscuits and smarties to the other half (my 4 year old insisted this was necessary). Made about 20 biscuits.
