Vanilla YoYos

Posted 2013-07-29 by Charlie ⇒ follow

Yo-yos are custard biscuits with a creamy vanilla centre, originating in South Australia before taking on the world! They’re quick and easy to make for a fun treat. And they can be made in multiple sizes, for a full-sized biscuit or a cute mini snack.

Preparation Time: 10 minutes
Cooking Time: 20 minutes
Makes: 12-24 servings

Ingredients

To make biscuits

170g softened butter
1/3 cup icing sugar
55g custard powder
170g plain flour

To make filling

1/2 cup icing sugar
1/4 cup softened butter
1 teaspoon vanilla essence

Method

Preheat oven to 180c. Grease baking trays

In a bowl, cream butter and icing sugar together.

Add custard powder and flour and mix together. Make sure to scrape all the icing sugar, custard powder and flour in from the sides.

Roll the dough into small balls in the desired shape and size. The batter doesn’t melt in the oven, so the size balls you roll out is the size of the baked biscuit. Place the balls on prepared trays.
