Custard Creams

 by Diana

4 oz self-raising flour

Pinch of salt

2 oz butter or margarine

2 tbsp water

1 tbsp egg

1 rounded tbsp custard powder

1 ½ oz sugar

Filling:

1 ½ oz sugar

2 oz margarine or butter

1 rounded tbsp custard powder

Drops of vanilla

Cream all together.

To make the biscuit dough, first cream the butter and sugar. Mix all the dry ingredients and fold into the butter mixture, adding water as required (no more than 2 tbsp). As the mixture dries, use your hands to mix. Roll out the dough, until thin. Shape and bake at 300 deg F for about 15-20 minutes until pale brown. Cool and fill.
