Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 250 grams Plain flour
- 150 grams Unsalted butter, softened
- 0.5 teaspoons Baking soda
- 80 grams Sugar-free sweetener (granulated)
- 50 grams Custard powder
- 1 large Egg yolk
- 1 tablespoon Milk
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
- 100 grams Sugar-free icing sugar
- 100 grams Additional butter for filling, softened
- 2 tablespoons Additional custard powder for filling
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 180°C (350°F) and line two baking sheets with parchment paper.
In a large mixing bowl, cream together the softened butter and sugar-free sweetener until light and fluffy.
Add the egg yolk and vanilla extract, and mix until well combined.
Sift in the plain flour, baking soda, and custard powder, then mix to form a dough. Add milk gradually to bring the dough together if it's too crumbly.
Roll the dough out on a lightly floured surface to about 3-4 mm thickness.
Use a round cookie cutter to cut out biscuits and place them onto the prepared baking sheets.
Bake in the preheated oven for 10-12 minutes or until the edges are just beginning to turn golden.
Allow the biscuits to cool completely on a wire rack.
For the filling, beat together the additional softened butter, sugar-free icing sugar, and custard powder in a medium bowl until smooth and creamy.
Spread about a teaspoon of the filling onto the bottom side of one biscuit and sandwich with another biscuit.
Continue with the remaining biscuits and filling.
Store the filled custard creams in an airtight container for up to one week.
