Custard Kisses are delightful little treats that blend the creamy taste of custard with a buttery biscuit. The sweet bites are perfect for tea time or as a snack, making them a fantastic choice for gatherings or simply indulging at home.
When tackling the Custard Kisses, feel free to swap out the butter for a dairy-free alternative if you’re accommodating dietary restrictions. Make sure to use fresh ingredients for the best flavor, and if you’re feeling adventurous, consider adding a touch of vanilla extract or lemon zest to enhance the custard flavor. Just keep in mind any allergies to egg or gluten, especially if you’re using self-raising flour that contains wheat.
