- 75 g icing sugar 2.5 oz/ ¾ cup
- 2 tablespoons custard powder

- Dry ingredients: In another bowl, mix flour, custard powder, and baking soda. Sift this mixture over the creamed butter and mix well again.170 g all-purpose flour / 1 ⅓ cups +50 g custard powder / ½ cup + ¼ teaspoon baking soda
- Form about 28 walnut-sized balls. Place them on the baking sheets, leaving a little room between them, as they will expand in the oven. Score a pattern on the cookies using a fork. Press once horizontally, then once vertically.
- Bake the cookie sheets, one after another, for about 15-16 minutes or until just very slightly golden (Note 3).
- Cool: Leave the custard creams on the baking sheets for 5-10 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely.
Filling:
- Beat the soft butter until creamy. Slowly add the icing sugar and custard powder while beating continuously. Add the vanilla and beat until light and fluffy.50 g unsalted butter/ ¼ cup + 75 g icing sugar / ¾ cup + 2 tablespoons custard powder + ½ teaspoon vanilla extract
- Spoon or pipe the filling on the inner side of half of the cookies. Cover each cookie with another cookie and press lightly.
Equipments used:
Notes
- Measurements: Always use a digital kitchen scale in baking (the Amazon affiliate link opens in a new tab); it guarantees the best results.
- Custard powder: I use Bird's Custard Powder.
- Oven: You can bake two sheets of cookies simultaneously in a fan oven (preheated at 160°C/ 320°F)
