Method
1. For the biscuits, beat together the butter and sugars until combined and creamy.
2. Then add the egg yolks and vanilla and beat again until smooth.
3. Sift in the flour and custard powder and mix until a rough ball is formed. Then transfer to a lightly floured surface.
4. Roll out the dough to a 3-5mm thickness and cut out the biscuit shapes. Place onto a lined baking tray, evenly spaced, and transfer to the fridge for at least 30 minutes and up to 2 hours.
5. Preheat your oven to 200ºc fan.
6. Bake the biscuits for 10 minutes until light golden brown.
7. Whilst the biscuits are cooling, make the cream filling. Whip the butter until smooth and creamy, then gradually add the icing sugar and custard powder.
8. Depending on the colour you have, add a few drops of yellow food colouring.
9. Once the biscuits have cooled completely, flip half over and pipe the cream onto each biscuit.
10. Then make a sandwich using another biscuit.
11. Enjoy!
