  • Perfect for any occasion, from brunch to dessert.
  • Simple ingredients that you likely already have on hand.
  • Quick to make, with minimal prep time.

Ingredients

  • 2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1 tablespoon baking powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1/4 cup granulated sugar
  • 1/2 cup unsalted butter, cold and cubed
  • 3/4 cup milk
  • 1 large egg
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1 cup prepared vanilla custard (store-bought or homemade)
  • Powdered sugar for dusting (optional)

How to Make Creamy Custard-Filled Biscuits

  1. Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
  2. In a large mixing bowl, combine the all-purpose flour, baking powder, salt, and granulated sugar. Whisk together until well mixed.
  3. Add the cold, cubed butter to the flour mixture. Using a pastry cutter or your fingers, blend the butter into the flour until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.
  4. In a separate bowl, whisk together the milk, egg, and vanilla extract. Pour this mixture into the dry ingredients and stir until just combined. Do not overmix; a few lumps are okay.
  5. Turn the dough out onto a lightly floured surface and gently knead it a few times until it comes together. Roll it out to about 1/2 inch thick.
  6. Using a round biscuit cutter, cut out biscuits and place them on the prepared baking sheet. Gather any scraps, roll out again, and cut more biscuits.
  7. Bake the biscuits in the preheated oven for 12-15 minutes or until they are golden brown on top.
  8. Once baked, let the biscuits cool slightly before slicing them in half horizontally.
  9. Fill each biscuit with a generous spoonful of vanilla custard. Replace the top half of the biscuit and dust with powdered sugar if desired.
  10. Serve warm and enjoy!

Tips for the Best Results

  • Ensure your butter is cold to achieve a flaky texture.
  • Don’t overmix the dough; it should be light and fluffy.
  • If using homemade custard, allow it to cool completely before filling the biscuits.
  • For extra flavor, consider adding a splash of almond extract to the custard.

Easy Variations

  • Substitute the vanilla custard with chocolate or lemon custard for a different flavor profile.
  • Add fresh berries or fruit compote alongside the custard for a fruity twist.
  • Experiment with spices like cinnamon or nutmeg in the biscuit dough for an aromatic touch.

What to Serve With It

  • Freshly brewed coffee or tea for a cozy pairing.
  • A scoop of vanilla ice cream for an indulgent dessert.
  • Seasonal fruit salad for a refreshing contrast.

Storage and Reheating

Store any leftover biscuits in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 2 days. For longer storage, keep them in the refrigerator for up to a week. To reheat, warm them in a preheated oven at 350°F (175°C) for about 5-7 minutes until warmed through.
