Ingredients

250 gram unsalted butter, chopped, at room temperature

1/2 cup icing sugar, sifted

2 cup plain flour, sifted

1/2 cup custard powder, sifted

15 glace cherries, halved

Method

1.Preheat oven to moderate, 180°C. Lightly grease and line 2 baking trays.

2.In a large bowl, using an electric mixer, beat butter and sugar together until pale and creamy. Gradually fold in flour and custard powder until combined.

3.Roll level tablespoons of mixture into balls. Arrange on prepared trays, leaving 4cm space between each biscuit (this allows for spreading). Flatten lightly with a fork. Press cherry halves, cut-side down, onto each biscuit.

4.Bake for 12-15 minutes until golden. Cool on trays.

Biscuits will be soft when removed from oven, but will harden on cooling.
