Lemon Custard Tea Cakes Recipe
  1. To make the custard, place custard powder and sugar in a small saucepan. Add just enough milk to make a paste then add remaining milk. Slowly bring to the boil over medium heat, stirring constantly. Reduce heat and simmer for 2 minutes. Set aside to cool completely, stirring occasionally. Stir through lemon curd and rind.

  2. Preheat oven to 180C/160C fan forced. Grease a 12 x ½-cup-capacity muffin pan.

  3. Use electric beaters to beat butter, sugar and vanilla in a bowl until pale and creamy. One at a time add the eggs, beating well after each addition. Beat in flour and ⅓ cup of milk until well combined.

  4. Spoon 1 tablespoon of mixture into each muffin hole, spreading slightly up the sides of the pan. Fill with 1 tablespoon of custard and top with another 1 tablespoon of batter, trying to encase the custard in batter. Repeat with remaining muffin holes.

  5. Bake for 22 to 25 minutes, or until golden and puffed. Leave to cool for 5 minutes before turning onto a wire rack to cool. Serve dusted with icing sugar.
