Ingredients
- 100 grams low-fat margarine
- 50 grams caster sugar
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 150 grams plain flour
- 50 grams custard powder
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- 2 tablespoons low-fat yogurt
- 100 grams icing sugar
Directions
Step 1
Preheat your oven to 180°C (350°F) and line a baking tray with parchment paper.
Step 2
In a mixing bowl, cream together the low-fat margarine and caster sugar until light and fluffy.
Step 3
Mix in the vanilla extract.
Step 4
In another bowl, sift together the plain flour, custard powder, and baking powder.
Step 5
Gradually add the dry ingredients to the margarine and sugar mixture, folding gently to combine.
Step 6
Add the low-fat yogurt to the mix. This will help bind the dough while keeping it moist.
Step 7
Once the dough is formed, divide it into small balls, approximately the size of a walnut, and place them on the prepared baking tray.
Step 8
Flatten each ball gently with the back of a fork to create the characteristic custard cream pattern.
Step 9
Bake in the preheated oven for 12-15 minutes, or until a light golden color. Do not overbake.
Step 10
While the biscuits are cooling, prepare the filling by mixing the icing sugar with a small amount of water to form a thick paste.
Step 11
Once the biscuits have cooled, spread approximately half a teaspoon of the icing on the flat side of half the biscuits.
Step 12
Sandwich the remaining biscuits on top to create pairs.
Step 13
Allow to set for a few minutes before serving. Enjoy your healthier low-fat custard cream biscuits!
