I baked these at about 8am today, but didn't have time to get all the biscuit pics until now.
Yo-yo Biscuits - makes about 32 biscuits
6 oz (180g) softened butter
2 oz (60g) icing sugar, sifted
6 oz (180g) flour
2 oz (60g) custard powder (I love custard powder)
1/2 tsp vanilla
Filling:
2 oz (60g) butter1/2 cup icing sugar
1/2 tsp vanilla
2 tsp milk
Preheat oven to 320f/160c. Cream butter and sugar in a mixing bowl. Sift flour and custard powder 3 times, than mix in with butter and sugar mixture. Stir in vanilla.
Line a baking sheet with parchment paper. Roll large teaspoons of dough into balls and place on baking sheet. With the back of a fork, lightly press each ball down. This dough is delicious. Try not too eat too much!
Bake on middle shelf for about 15 minutes. Watch that the underside of biscuits do not colour too much.
To make filling, cream butter and sifted icing sugar until light and creamy. Add vanilla, then milk and beat well. Spread filling on bottom of one biscuit and sandwich together. Lightly sprinkle with icing sugar.
These yo-yos melt in your mouth. Enjoy!!!
Good night.

Jane, if I could put maple syrup and custard powder in everything I would! Your daughter will love these.
Andrea, happy to hear the lemon cakes were a success! Aren't they delicious? These yo-yos are even easier...and the dough really is yum.

Yum...these little bits must be from Heaven! They not only look adorable..they look yummy..anything with custard powder has be dancing. xoxoxo Happy week.
This is intriguing - I have never, ever baked with custard powder and now I feel custard powder mania coming on whereby I'll have to add it to everything in the name of scientific experimentation. Whether my family will thank you for this remains to be seen, Janis! These look delicious, so I live in hope.

Yum! I love these biscuits too. I never heard them called yoyos though! I know them as melting moments and they are so gorgeous! beautiful photos!

These look just as cute as they do delicious!!
I am an impossible baker. I just can't seem to make the ingredients do what they're supposed to do. It's all so mysterious to me how things become fluffy and light and airy and delicious and not burnt. That has never happened to me. Your Monday posts are pretty inspiring though!
This is my kind of treat! Your blog is so beautiful! I'm a follower now.
My mother-in-law makes these and the custard powder is the essential component! I have always wanted the recipe but don't ask for it in case she thinks she can stop making them for me! Now I have the recipe I can make my own for those times when she doesn't send some my way!
Best wishes,
Natasha.
One word...I-need-one-of-those-right-now!!!!
*meep* Must. Stop. Reading. All. Your. Baked on Monday. Receipts...
Really, this is not good for my diet. :C I can feel the weight gain just by watching all those delicious pictures you take!
