Ingredients

• 150 grams Gluten-free self-raising flour
• 50 grams Cornstarch
• 100 grams Butter
• 50 grams Granulated sugar
• 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
• 1 unit Egg yolk
• 50 grams Custard powder
• 75 grams Icing sugar
• 1 tablespoon Milk

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 180°C (350°F) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.

Step 2

In a mixing bowl, cream together the butter and granulated sugar until light and fluffy.

Step 3

Add the egg yolk and vanilla extract to the butter mixture and mix until well combined.

Step 4

Sift the gluten-free self-raising flour and cornstarch into the butter mixture, then add the custard powder.

Step 5

Mix the dry ingredients into the wet ingredients until a soft dough forms. Be careful not to overmix.

Step 6

Shape the dough into small balls, about the size of a walnut, and place them onto the prepared baking sheet, leaving some space between each ball.

Step 7

Using a fork, gently flatten each dough ball, creating a crisscross pattern on the top.

Step 8

Bake in the preheated oven for 10-12 minutes, or until the biscuits are lightly golden at the edges.

Step 9

Remove from the oven and let them cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely.

Step 10

While the biscuits are cooling, prepare the custard cream filling. In a bowl, beat together the icing sugar, custard powder, and softened butter until smooth.

Step 11

Add a tablespoon of milk to the custard cream mixture to achieve a soft, spreadable consistency.

Step 12

Once the biscuits are completely cooled, pair them up by size and spread a generous amount of custard cream on the flat side of one biscuit, then sandwich with another.

Step 13

Store the custard cream biscuits in an airtight container for up to 3 days.
