Although we have included a range of Essential Waitrose biscuits, the cost and nutritional composition are similar to other value ranges such as Tesco Value, Asda SmartPrice and Sainsbury’s Basics. The biscuits were included due to availability at the time. Sift the flour, custard powder and baking soda into a bowl and set aside. Cream the butter and sugar for about 3 minutes, then add the sifted flour, custard and soda and mix well. However, rich tea biscuits are made with sunflower oil, which explains their lower saturated fat content.

The custard in custard creams refers to Bird’s custard powder, and it is only used in making the dough. It is NOT used in the filling (given that it is flavored corn starch, it should be cooked before eating). What is Bird’s Custard Powder and do I Need it for Custard Creams? Mix the butter, powdered sugar and vanilla until creamy (you may need to add a few drops of milk if you want to pipe the filling). You’ll love the buttery, custard flavor, and the crispiness of the biscuit. However, just wait until it melts in your mouth! As you can see, they also include honey, syrups and also fruit juice. However, naturally-occurring fructose in fruit, and lactose in milk, are not the types of sugar we need to cut down on, and some biscuits do contain small amounts of dried fruit. at Tesco for 400g // 45p at Lidl for 400g LIDL and Tesco custard creams (Image: ANDREW NUTTALL / NORTH WALES LIVE)And, we're all aware that price promotions tend be focused around those food and drink products which contain higher amounts of fat and sugar – therefore they become one of the more affordable choices, but not one of the healthier ones. My parents also tried some of the Morrisons biscuits (seeing as I had plenty to share!) saying these are the nicest and the ones they go for time and time again. I'd have agreed fully - after enjoying the tasty golden treats for years growing up - but I found one biscuit I'd be probably be buying instead that will save me pennies and pounds in the long run. Most of us enjoy dunking a biscuit or two into a hot cup of coffee or tea, and there's always an ongoing debate between family members, colleagues and friends as to which biscuit is the best for the job! Next, use the buttercream to sandwich two of the custard creams together. Use a piping bag if you really want perfect results, but you really can just spread the filling with a knife, as well. For reasons of hygiene and safety, personal grooming products, cosmetics or items of intimate clothing cannot be returned.

We all need some fat in our diets to provide energy and essential fatty acids, but it’s important to think about how much you're having, and the type of fat. Type 1 diabetes and biscuits People will get into heated arguments about which type of biscuit (cookie) or beverage is better–it’s rather funny, actually, and it even happens on anotherBritish Facebook group I belong to which has nothing to do with food! We chose a range of different biscuits – and tried to cover all your favourites – to help you compare calories, fat, saturated fat and sugar at a glance... It’s pretty amazing to me, howalmost every single Brit I know ( especially ex-pats) become ecstatic over certain types of iconic British food, including savories, sweets, candy, and yes, even junk food.

McVitie's Tasties Custard Creams (300g)

Whether you go wild for a wafer or are a firm digestive devotee, we all have a favourite. To dunk or not to dunk...

Store in an airtight container for up to a week. Most people in the UK have some sort of biscuit tin. Flour ( Wheat Flour, Calcium, Iron, Niacin, Thiamin), Sugar, Vegetable Oil (Palm), Whey Solids ( Milk), Glucose Syrup, Wheat Starch, Raising Agents (Ammonium Bicarbonate, Sodium Bicarbonate), Salt, Natural Flavouring, Colour (Mixed Carotenes) Until doing this test, I didn't realise McVities had a version of these biscuits available in Asda (I didn't notice them anywhere else). They were really well made and had a really nice level of biscuit to cream ratio. The only downside is the price point. Biscuits are also hiding a fairly high amount of fat. Many of the biscuits we put under the spotlight used either butter or palm oil as the fat of choice. Both are high in saturated fat, which is linked to heart disease. These custard creams are the most delicious, “melt in your mouth” cookie you’ll probably ever have!Recently, I met and had dinner with the SORTED Food guys (Mike, Jamie, Ben and Barry), four friends from England who have huge followingtheir YouTube food channel and who were passing through LA on their #lostandhungry tour. I like to match up evenly sized biscuits (the rolled ones) before starting to sandwich them together.
