2 oz custard powder
1 tbsp milk

  2. Grease or line biscuit trays with baking paper
  3. Mix all ingredients using the flat beater/dough hook style attachment until come together and form a dough
  4. Roll large teaspoons of mix into a ball and press down with a fork on the top
  5. Bake in slow oven for approximately 15 minutes; dont really need to brown these
