Ingredients:

Spray oil to grease the baking tray
3 tablespoons butter
2 tablespoons soft brown sugar
3/4 cup self raising flour
1/4 cup custard powder

Optional - 1/2 cup choc bits to decorate biscuits

Method:

Heat oven to 180 degrees Celsius.

Beat butter and sugar in a mixing bowl till light and creamy.  Add  flour and custard powder, stir with wooden spoon until well combined.

Sometimes, depending on the season and the type of flour you use, you may find this mixture remains crumbly no matter how hard you try to combine it.  If this happens use a tablespoon of milk to bind it.

Take one teaspoon of mixture and roll it into a ball. Repeat with the remainder of the mixture. Place on baking tray allowing room for the biscuits to spread.  Flatten each ball slightly with the back of a fork.

Bake for 10 - 15 minutes on 180 degrees Celsius (350 degrees Fahrenheit) or until golden in colour. Cool.

If desired, melt the choc bits over a bowl of hot water and dip the biscuits in to the melted chocolate.

Notes:

Alternate decoration could be half a glace cherry gently pushed into the  top of each biscuit before cooking
