This week, Roy wanted to make some delicious biscuits to share with a friend who was coming to visit. This friend loves sweet treats, but also likes things which are simple and not too rich. Roy wanted to find something which would be flavoursome and delicious, but which wouldn’t be over the top, and when he found a recipe for orange cream biscuits, he thought they sounded very promising. The results were even better than he expected and he decided to share the recipe with his online friends. So this week, Roy Creates Delicious Custardy Orange Cream Biscuits.
You Will Need:
- 185 grams of butter

- 1 cup of icing sugar
- 2 tablespoons of custard powder

- Roll teaspoons of the dough into balls and place onto your prepared trays (Roy fit 12 on a tray).
