Another of Sarah’s Christmas gifts was this cute “Eat Me” stamped cookie cutter. To test it out, she baked up a batch of Custard Creams. They are two custard cookies sandwiched together with a custard buttercream filling. The custard creams are so delicious – and so much nicer that the variety available in supermarkets.
They would be perfect for an Alice in Wonderland Party.
Custard Creams
Ingredients
Biscuits
– 175g (1 1/2 sticks) softened butter
– 50g (1/4 cup) caster (superfine) sugar
– 50g (1/3 cup) icing (confectioners) sugar
– 2 egg yolks
– 2 tsp custard powder
– 1 tsp vanilla extract
– 300g (2 1/2 cups) plain (all purpose) flour , plus extra for dusting
– 50g (1/4 cup) caster (superfine) sugar
– 50g (1/3 cup) icing (confectioners) sugar
– 2 egg yolks
– 2 tsp custard powder
– 1 tsp vanilla extract
– 300g (2 1/2 cups) plain (all purpose) flour , plus extra for dusting
Custard Filling
– 100g (0.9 stick) softened butter
– 140g (1 1/8 cups) icing (confectioners) sugar , sifted, plus a little extra
– 2 tbsp custard powder
– 140g (1 1/8 cups) icing (confectioners) sugar , sifted, plus a little extra
– 2 tbsp custard powder
Method
Preheat the oven to 180 C (355 deg F) . Line a large baking sheet with parchment paper. Place the butter, sugars, egg yolks, custard powder and vanilla in a food processor and blend until creamy. Next pour in the flour and blend until the mixture comes together to form a dough. Wrap the dough in a plastic wrap and cool in the fridge for at least 30 minutes. Once rested, take the dough from the fridge and roll out thinly on a floured surface. Cut the biscuits out using a small rectangular biscuit cutter.
Transfer the biscuits onto the baking sheets and bake for 8-10 mins until golden. Place the cooked biscuits on a wire rack to cool.
To prepare the filling, mix the softened butter, icing sugar, custard powder and food colouring with a wooden spoon. When the biscuits are cold, pipe the filling on a biscuit and place another biscuit on top to create the custard cream sandwich.

Where do you get custard powder?
On the chance you never found it…
I plan to get mine at World Market. Since World Market is part of Bed Bath and Beyond, you may be able to find it in their international foods section.
Where do you get or order custard powder? I just love you site. It is fun, colorful, and informative!
