Custard Dreams

I love this recipe, it's a fast and tasty little biscuit that's great for a morning tea or tea party with the kids.

What you need...

• 185 grams of softened butter
• 1/3 a cup of icing sugar
• a teaspoon of vanilla
• 1 cup of plain flour
• 1/3 cup od custard powder.

How you do it...

• preheat you oven to 180 degrees.
• Cream the butter sugar and vanilla together using an electric beater until the mixture is pale and fluffy
• Sift in the flour and custard powder, and using a wooden spoon stir it through to form a soft dough.
• Usually at this point I pop the dough into a piping bag with a 1.5cm star nozzle and pipe out some star shapes, but seeing as I have a 16 week Klingon baby today I have opted to just use my one free hand and roll some balls and flatten them out a touch. You can also add some sugar decorations now or like we did today, cover some in hundreds and thousands.
• After you have shaped or piped the your dough onto a greased or baking paper lined baking tray pop them into the fridge to firm up for 20 mins.
• Bake for about 12 mins until golden brown. 
• Cool and Eat!!!

So there you go a quick light mini biscuit treat!
Happy baking
