Recipe's preparation

Biscuit

Cream butter and sugar until light and fluffy, 1-2min/speed 4. Scape down bowl as needed

Add flour and custrad powder mix 30/speed 3, scrape down sides and repeat if needed.

Pass mix through a biscuit forcer or roll mix into small balls and press with a fork.

Bake in a slow over 160°C for approximately 20 min until lightly golden.
Cool on a wire rack before icing together.

Icing

Add just enough water to the icing sugar to make a thick paste.

Carefully sandwich two biscuit half’s together with the icing.

Tip

If you switch yout TM5/6 to imperial measuments in the setting you can easily weigh in the 2oz/6oz measuments.

Vegan/Vegetarian:
To make these biscuits vegan/vegetarian simply switch the butter for a dairy free spread and ensure your custard powder is egg/dairy free. Foster Clark's custard powder is vegan and Nuttalex buttery works very well as a butter substitute.

TM 6

For cooking (simmering) at temperatures of 95°C or above (200°F), the simmering basket should always be used instead of the TM6 measuring cup, as the TM6 measuring cup fits tightly in the lid. The simmering basket rests loosely on top, is steam-permeable, and also prevents food spatter from the mixing bowl.

If you are using a Thermomix® TM6 measuring cup with your Thermomix® TM5:
For cooking (simmering) at temperatures of 95°C or above (200°F), the simmering basket should always be used instead of the TM6 measuring cup, as the TM6 measuring cup fits tightly in the lid.

Please note that the TM5 mixing bowl has a larger capacity than the TM31 (capacity of 2.2 liters instead of 2.0 liters for TM 31). Recipes for the Thermomix TM5 may not be cooked with a Thermomix TM31 for safety reasons without adjusting the quantities. Risk of scalding by spraying of hot liquids: Do not exceed the maximum filling quantity and observe the filling level markings of the mixing bowl!
