Iconic family bakery Yoyo’s!


Ingredients (makes 12 Biscuits)

  • 250g Butter Soft
  • 230g Plain Flour (sifted)
  • 1/2 cup Icing sugar (sifted)
  • 2/3 cups Custard Powder
  • 1 cup Vanilla Butter Cream

Method

  1. Preheat a fan forced over to 160. Whisk butter until light and fluffy. Sift in sugar, flour and custard power and mix until smooth.
  2. Roll into balls the size you’d like your biscuits, and place onto a tray lined with baking paper. Press down with a fork to create those iconic lines.
  3. Bake for 15 to 20 minutes, until sides start to slightly brown.
  4. Let cool for 30 minutes. Dollop a small amount of Vanilla Buttercream in the middle of one biscuit and sandwich together with another biscuit. Enjoy!
  5. Try homemade buttercream with a table spoon of orange rind and a squeeze of juice for a fruity variation.

  • These look delicious. I just need a cuppa. Will give these a try.
