Custard Biscuits

1. 1

   Preheat oven to 180u00b0C (355u00b0F) and line 2-3 baking trays. This dough makes about 40 biscuits. Have a variety of cookie cutters ready.

   Place the butter and sugar in a large bowl and beat until light and fluffy. Add in the vanilla extract and mix again briefly.

3. 3

   In a separate bowl, sift the flour, baking powder and custard powder together. Add in the dry ingredients and mix until a dough forms; it's quite a soft dough.

4. 4

   Flour the work surface and turn the dough out. Flour the rolling pin and then roll out to about 50mm thick. Cut your shapes out and place them on the baking trays, repeat the rolling and cutting process until you've used all the dough.
