'betterthancustardcreams' Biscuits

  • Completed Project: 'betterthancustardcreams' Biscuits Picture #1

Name says it all really!

Yummy with tea, coffee and, well..everything! AND dead easy to throw together. Using mini cutters (around 2 inches) this makes 10 biscuits, I always double this recipie otherwise they never see tomorrow!

If you dont having an icing bag and piping nozzle the buttercream can be spread on using a knife.

Better than custard creams? A high claim!
I might just have to challenge this and make some of my own.

Why grams? Because I assumed it was more standard than ounces (in the UK) but anyone wanting ounces message me and I will send over some conversions for you as I work in both (but not together!!!)
Temperature is celcius :)
