Description

Delight your taste buds with these scrumptious Custard Biscuits. A classic Australian treat, these buttery delights are perfect for any occasion.


Ingredients

Scale

Dough:

  • 1 cup (125g) all-purpose flour
  • 1/2 cup (60g) custard powder
  • 1/2 cup (115g) unsalted butter, softened
  • 1/3 cup (40g) powdered sugar
  • 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract

Additional:

  • Extra powdered sugar for dusting (optional)

Instructions

  1. Preheat the oven: Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
  2. Cream butter and sugar: In a mixing bowl, cream the butter and powdered sugar until light and fluffy. Add vanilla extract and mix well.
  3. Add dry ingredients: Sift in the flour and custard powder, then stir until a soft dough forms.
  4. Shape and bake: Roll teaspoons of dough into balls, flatten with a fork, and place on the baking sheet. Bake for 12–15 minutes until lightly golden.
  5. Cool and serve: Let the biscuits cool on the tray for a few minutes, then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely. Dust with powdered sugar if desired.

Notes

  • You can sandwich two biscuits together with buttercream or jam for a treat similar to melting moments.
