A classic British treat, these Rhubarb & Custard Sandwich Biscuits are a nostalgic delight. The tangy rhubarb filling is perfectly complemented by the sweet custard.
Ingredients
For the Biscuits:
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1/2 teaspoon baking powder
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 cup unsalted butter, softened
- 1/2 cup granulated sugar
- 1 large egg
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
For the Filling:
- 1/2 cup rhubarb jam
- 1/2 cup custard
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 190°C (375°F).
- In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, and salt.
- In a separate bowl, cream together the butter and sugar until light and fluffy.
- Beat in the egg and vanilla extract.
- Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing until a dough forms.
- Roll out the dough on a lightly floured surface to a thickness of about 1/4 inch.
- Cut out circles of dough using a cookie cutter.
- Place half of the circles on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.
- Top each circle with a teaspoon of rhubarb jam and a teaspoon of custard.
- Top with the remaining circles of dough, pressing the edges to seal.
- Bake for 10-12 minutes, or until golden brown.
- Let cool on the baking sheet for a few minutes before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely.
