  My husband LOVED the custard kisses. Then he said that custard biscuits were very nearly his favourite but that chocolate bourbons were absolutely his best. So I made up another batch and substituted 10g of good quality cocoa for 10g of flour. And I used half and half custard powder and cocoa for the butter cream filling. They were extremely delicious! While I was about it I made up a batch of your cinnamon swirls. We loved them too. There goes the diet!!!

  I made them on Friday and they are still not soggy two days later. Not sure how much longer they would have stayed crisp-difficult to tell when they get eaten so quickly! Left the biscuits in the oven slightly too long, and they came out browner than I would have liked. Next time will take them out when they are lightly golden! Found I had to add about three tablespoons instead of the recommended two of custard powder to make it really custardy.

  Fantastic! Easy to make and very popular: my friends were grabbing third-helpings!! I have a set of square cutters, which makes things easier.

  These turned out really well. I did add 3tbsp of custard powder instead of 2tbsp to make them extra custardy though. Definitely worth a go!

  The filling turned out too sweet, which ruined the whole thing. I really don't like this recipe.

  I found these really disappointing. One of the few good food recipes I've tried that I wouldn't make again.

  Made these for afternoon and tea and they were a huge success - I made them as triple biccies and would definitely make them extra custardy next time!

  Very nice. I made some as described and they looked pretty good, but were tricky to eat. Made some in little heart shapes and circles using a cutter and sandwiched just two together at a time; much, much better and looked very pretty on the plate.

  These were very easy to make, and very tasty. I followed the advice above and added another tbsp of custard powder, and it made a very tasty filling! The only thing I would say, is that I found the actual biscuit a little bland. In my opinion, the recipe needs a bit more sugar. But apart from that, it's perfect!

  Neither here nor there... nice to make, the dough comes together well and its all fairly easy (would be good to make with children) but nothing special taste wise.. maybe im just not a biscuit person. 10 mins was a little bit too long at suggested temp, i dont know, nothing wrong with them just not very exciting!!

  Really very, very good. Light as a feather, and easy to make them look pretty. I did heart shaped ones for my kids for Valentine's day. The balance of biscuit and filling was better on two tier biscuits, rather than three. The pattern pricked on top held beautifully. I found that the filling was yellow without colouring so did not add.

  Very yummy and look great! To get the squares the right size, I placed a ruler vertically on the dough and cut with a sharp knife either along side, so you end up with strips the width of your ruler. Then place the ruler horizontally and do the same thing so you get perfect little squares. They appear quite small but they're just the right size for three tiered biscuits - you wouldn't want them much bigger really.
