Ingredients

250g unsalted butter, softened
1/2 cup icing sugar
1/4 cup golden syrup
1 3/4 cup plain flour
1/4 cup custard powder

Icing

100g unsalted butter, softened
1 tbs golden syrup
1 cup icing sugar, sifted

Method

Step 1

Preheat oven to 160C. Line two oven trays with baking paper.
Step 2

In a stand mixer or using handheld beaters, beat butter, icing sugar and golden syrup until pale and fluffy. Sift over flour and custard powder and fold through to combine.
Step 3

Roll mixture into small balls and place onto prepared trays, allowing a little room for spreading. Dip a fork in flour and press onto each ball to flatten slightly. Bake for 14 - 16 minutes until golden. Set aside to cool.
Step 4

Meanwhile, make the icing by beating together butter and golden syrup until pale. Gradually add icing sugar and continue beating until well combined.
Step 5

Spread icing onto half of the cooled biscuits, then sandwich together with remaining biscuits.
