I was surprised at how simple these are to make. I always though that the custard flavouring was in the cream itself, however it turn out that it goes into the biscuit itself, with the filling a simple buttercream icing. Click here for the recipe (taken from BBC Good Food Website.
The good thing about this recipe, its simple biscuit dough with custard powder added. Easy for the kids to get involved with and get their hands a bit messy!
Across the last couple of years, ive picked up endless amounts of cookie cutters in all shapes, sizes, letters, numbers, etc. so he is a bit spoiled for choice when it comes to the shapes. He wanted a train for definite though, so we had to make a train one (three times the size of the others!) You could use cutters, moulds, or shape them yourself, the only limit is your imagination as the dough is very easy to work with. Below is what we came up with, the only limit is your imagination!
Hopefully Ill have another update very soon. My partners just finished baking a sausage and butter-bean bake, which I MAY ask if I can claim as my own for the blog (I did help prepare the ingredients, just was too busy on bedtime duty and updating the blog)
Happy Baking!
