Directions
Preheat your oven to 180°C (350°F) and line two baking trays with parchment paper.
In a large bowl, combine flour, custard powder, confectioners' sugar, cornstarch, and a pinch of salt. Mix the ingredients thoroughly.
Add the softened butter to the dry ingredients. Using your fingers, gently work the butter into the dry mix until it forms a soft dough. Do not overmix.
Roll the dough into balls approximately the size of a walnut and place them on the prepared baking tray, ensuring space for expansion.
Press the back of a fork onto each dough ball to flatten it slightly and create a pattern.
Bake for 12-15 minutes or until lightly golden.
While the biscuits are cooling, prepare the filling by combining butter, confectioners' sugar and custard powder. Gradually add heavy cream until the texture is creamy and smooth.
Once the biscuits are completely cooled, spoon or pipe a dollop of filling onto a biscuit and press another biscuit on top.
Repeat with the rest of the biscuits and filling.
Store in an air-tight container and serve within 2 days for best freshness.
