Afternoon Tea Biscuits

Ingredients:
1 1/2 cups self raising flour
1/2 cup custard powder
1/2 cup sugar
1 egg
4 oz. butter

Method:
Cream the butter and sugar. Add the beaten egg. Fold in sifted flour and custard powder. Roll into balls and press onto a greased baking tray with a fork. Bake in a hot oven for 10 to 12 minutes. When cool, join with jam, flavoured icing sugar or top with a piece of cherry.

(This recipe was used for a wood oven, hence no directions given for gas or electric ovens. I would suggest that 200 degrees Celsius should work.)
