Custard Creams


Whenever I am making an edible gift, I tend to make the fabulous little guys. The are oh-so-tasty, and their messy-eat-me-now appearance makes them seem sweet and personal. The dough is egg free, which is unfortunate for the amount of actual biscuits that reach the baking stage *wink*wink*...


Just plonk all the ingredients into a mixing bowl, and mix!
I prefer to mix this dough in a mixer with an all-purpose paddle rather than working the butter in with my fingertips. When I have mixed it in my mixer, the baked biscuits are light and shortbready. This batch was mixed by hand, and although super nice, were a bit more dense.


Then roll them into little balls and place on a lightly greased baking tray.


And press down with a fork to make chucky looking biscuits.


Pop into the oven and bake for 20 minutes!
Its that easy!


So as I mentioned, these tend to be my edible gifts....Happy Birthday Hayley! This post was inspired by you! I hope you had a wonderful day yesterday, and hope the year ahead holds many special things for you! And I hope you enjoyed your custard creams!xxx
