Equipment

Ingredients
 
 

  • 200 gm all-purpose flour
  • 40 gm vanilla custard powder
  • 135 gm sugar ( granulated sugar or caster sugar)
  • 175 gm butter ( room temperature )
  • 5 tablespoon milk ( whole milk )

Instructions
 

  • In a wide bowl beat room temperature unsalted butter for an minute.
  • Add sugar ( granulated or caster sugar powdered in a blender) and beat until it forms a smooth, creamy texture.
  • Sieve in all-purpose flour and custard powder to the butter-sugar mixture.
  • Gently mix the flour and custard powder with a spatula until it forms a cookie dough consistency.
  • As I use a nozzle for piping the dough, the cookie dough is slightly thick to pipe. So adding milk helps to lose the dough for piping.
  • For me, five tablespoons of milk were perfect for the dough. Do not add all the milk at once. Add a little at a time to get the consistency.
  • It is SULTANA NOZZLE which I used for piping these cookies. You can use any nozzle as you wish.
  • Fill in the piping bag. Meanwhile, preheat the oven to 180 C ( I used a Microwave convection oven).
  • Pipe the cookie dough as shown in the picture. Bake it for thirteen to fifteen minutes. Remember, every oven behaves differently. If you bake in an OTG, have an eye after ten minutes.
  • After baking, cool it on a cooling rack and let it cool completely before piping the cookies.
  • Filling cookies are one’s own choice. I filled my favourite Homemade Strawberry Jam for these cookies. You can try some more jams like Homemade Mango JamHomemade Mixed Fruit, etc.
  • Yummy crispy Custard sandwich cookies filled jam is ready to serve with a hot cuppa coffee, tea, or milk, for holidays or can pack for kiddo snack box.

Notes

Reading the whole post helps to nail this easy recipe. I have given all the alternates which you might like to question.
Finally, the first batch of cookies takes more time ( 15 minutes) to bake. The second and third batch takes only 12 to 13 minutes to bake. So have an eye while baking. And, also every oven behaves differently, so adjust time and heat according to it.
