Custard Lime Kisses...

I could call these biscuits, 

but kisses sound so much more deliciously romantic, don't you think?

And as we are having a everything lime time at Mia Bella Passions,

I adapted a very old family recipe to create these...

Custard Lime Kisses...

Oh yummo!!!!

We are right back on the sweet treat radar with these, 

as the kisses are sweet flavoured with custard,
and the tangy lime flavour is in the custard icing.

For The Kisses:

225 grams (8 oz) softened butter

1 1/2 cups fine white caster sugar

1 teaspoon vanilla paste or essence

3 Tablespoons custard powder

2 cups flour

1 teaspoon baking soda that has been dissolved in 2 tablespoons warm milk.

Preheat the oven to 180 degrees Celsius.

Prepare two trays - lined with baking paper.

Cream the softened butter and fine caster sugar

Add vanilla paste or essence and beat until pale and creamy.

Add 3 Tablespoons custard powder, 2 cups flour and 1 teaspoon baking soda that has been dissolved in 2 tablespoons warm milk.

Mix into a dough.

Roll into small balls, and press lightly with a fork. Bake 12 - 15 minutes.

When cold, ice with custard/lime icing and join two biscuits together.

For The Icing:

50 grams (1.8 oz) of butter

1 tablespoon of lime juice.

1 Tablespoon custard powder

1 and 1/2 Tablespoon milk

1 and 3/4 cups icing sugar.

Melt the butter and 1 tablespoon of lime juice.

Add 1 Tablespoon custard powder

1 1/2 Tablespoon milk

and 1 3/4 cups icing sugar.

Beat until creamy.

Makes 20 joined biscuits or 40 single biscuits.
