Add the vanilla extract to the butter and sugar mixture. Beat until well combined.
In a separate bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour and custard powder.
Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients. Beat on low speed until just combined. The dough should be soft and pliable, but not sticky.
