I made these today from a BBC recipe. It uses custard powder in the mix,
which should be available in most supermarkets - Bird's Custard Powder
is widely available in Calgary.
I think the white chocolate chips make them a bit too sweet so next time
I'll use semi-sweet dark chips.

Ingredients
140g Butter , softened
175g caster (superfine or berry) sugar (not confectioners)
1 egg (XL)
½ tsp vanilla extract
225g self-raising flour
85g custard powder
85g white chocolate chips or chunks

Method
Heat oven to 180C (360F) or 160C (320F) fan. Line 2-3 baking sheets
with baking parchment. Put the butter and sugar in a food processor and
blitz until light and fluffy. Add the egg and vanilla, and mix well.
Sift together the flour and custard powder, then tip into the bowl and
pulse to mix into a dough. Scrape out the food processor and work the
chocolate in by hand.

Roll the dough into balls a little smaller than a walnut, then place
on the baking sheets, a little apart to allow for spreading although
they dont spread much. Press each biscuit down lightly with your fingers.

Bake for 12-15 minutes until lightly golden. Remove and cool on a
wire rack.

"Cornflour, Salt, Colour (Annatto), Flavoring."

"Flavoring", the special ingredient.

Looks divine!

I just wonder what they'd taste like with butterscotch chips?

They might be a bit sweet, but then, it depends on your tooth:-)
