- 2 cups all-purpose/plain flour
- 1/2 cup custard powder
- 1/2 cup pure icing sugar
- 250 gm unsalted butter
- 1 tsp. vanilla essence
Bring the butter to room temperature. Pre-heat the oven to 180 degrees C.If you have a food processor, mix the butter with icing and vanilla. Process for a couple of minutes or until well combined. You can use a hand-mixer.Add the flour and custard. Pulse until JUST well combined. Do not over-process coz then your cookies won’t have a fine delicate crumbly texture.Shape as desired and bake on greased trays! (12-15minutes)
I rolled teeny balls with my hands, placed them on the tray and flattened them slightly with a fork. Dip the fork in flour to avoid it sticking to the cookies. If the cookies crumble or crack during shaping, add a few drops of milk and try again.
