Morrisons Custard Creams - 400g

The custard cream is one of the fixed points of the British biscuit tin, sitting alongside the bourbon and the rich tea. It turns up on the plate at work meetings, next to the kettle at your nan's, and in the spare room at every B&B in the country.

For a lot of people, the supermarket's own packet is the one that was actually in the cupboard growing up. If Morrisons was your big shop, these are the custard creams you remember, and no amount of describing them to a Canadian friend quite does the job. You have to hand them one.

The 400g packet is a proper one for the cupboard. Once it is open, fold it over and clip it, or tip the lot into a tin, and they keep their snap. They are built for dunking, though a custard cream left in too long will make its feelings known at the bottom of your mug.

Most people pick these up with a box of British tea bags, because a custard cream without a cup of tea is just a biscuit standing around. A packet of bourbons alongside settles any argument about which is better.
