Product Information

And, we're all aware that price promotions tend be focused around those food and drink products which contain higher amounts of fat and sugar – therefore they become one of the more affordable choices, but not one of the healthier ones. Store in an airtight container for up to a week. Most people in the UK have some sort of biscuit tin. A custard cream is a type of sandwich biscuit popular in the British Isles filled with a creamy, custard-flavoured centre. Traditionally, the filling was buttercream (which is still used in most home-made recipes) but nowadays cheaper fats have replaced butter in mass-produced biscuits. The filling tastes of vanilla and as such is more akin to the taste of custard made with custard powder than egg custard. It is believed that the custard cream biscuit originated in Britain in 1908. [1] Usually, they have an elaborate baroque design stamped onto them, originating in the Victorian era and representing ferns. [2] Next, use the buttercream to sandwich two of the custard creams together. Use a piping bag if you really want perfect results, but you really can just spread the filling with a knife, as well.

Most of us know that we need to cut down on our free sugar intake. Free sugar includes all sugar which is added to anything we eat or drink, and may appear on the ingredients list as many different names such as: glucose, sucrose, maltose, honey, molasses, maple syrup, glucose syrup, hydrolyzed starch, corn syrup, agave nectar, coconut palm sugar, or treacle. Most of us enjoy dunking a biscuit or two into a hot cup of coffee or tea, and there's always an ongoing debate between family members, colleagues and friends as to which biscuit is the best for the job! People will get into heated arguments about which type of biscuit (cookie) or beverage is better–it’s rather funny, actually, and it even happens on anotherBritish Facebook group I belong to which has nothing to do with food! The custard in custard creams refers to Bird’s custard powder, and it is only used in making the dough. It is NOT used in the filling (given that it is flavored corn starch, it should be cooked before eating). What is Bird’s Custard Powder and do I Need it for Custard Creams?

Whether living with diabetes or not, we can all enjoy the odd biscuit as an occasional treat as part of a healthy, balanced diet.
