Custard Cream Biscuits

Custard Cream Biscuits 

These delicious custard flavoured biscuits are the perfect treat to have with a cup of tea or coffee for morning or afternoon tea. The Tefal Cuisine Companion mixes these to perfection in a few seconds. I often freeze half the dough so I can have fresh home baked biscuits when friends drop in. The custard filling can be mixed in the Cuisine Companion or just mixed or whisked by hand.
