Get your kids to measure out the sugar and butter and add them to a large mixing bowl or free-standing mixer. The butter needs to be soft so that it mixes in so if yours isn’t cut it into a few pieces and pop it in the microwave for 10 seconds or so, until it has softened (but not long enough to melt it). Note: You can easily do this by hand using your fingertips to rub the butter into the flour mixture. Custard Creams can be easily shaped by hand. Follow the simple steps below for delicious bite-sized biscuits. Using a hand held mixer or the k-paddle of your free-standing mixer, mix the icing together. Start very slowly and put a clean tea towel over the top if you can, to stop it getting too messy. Once the icing sugar has mixed in, you can turn the speed up and leave it mixing for a few minutes until it is nice and fluffy. The Custard Cream Biscuit Tin is the ideal gift for that someone that loves a biccy with their hourly cuppa. The tin itself looks like a giant Custard Cream, and is reusable.

What other easy biscuits can I make? These biscuits will keep in an air tight container for 3-5 days. If you want to keep them for longer, you can freeze them, either before you’ve added the icing, or after. Wrap them individually in cling film / glad wrap and pop them in a freezer bag. Once frozen, they’ll keep for a few months. Now, add the vanilla. If your kids are still quite young, you might need to hold the spoon while they pour in the vanilla or vice versa. Older children should be able to do this themselves. Using the k-paddle of your mixer, a hand held mixer or wooden spoons, beat the butter and sugar until it is nice and smooth.
