Custard creams are sandwich biscuits decorated with a baroque pattern and a custard-like filling, a very popular treat in the UK. In 1837, Birmingham pharmacist Alfred Bird developed the recipe for Bird’s egg-free custard powder for his wife because she was allergic to eggs.
The baroque pattern is achieved by pushing a piece of lace or something similar into the dough.
