Another nostalgic afternoon in the kitchen, making these rich, delicious Ozzie treats. The Yo yo, aptly named, involves the sandwiching of two thick buttery biscuits with a sweet vanilla cream. My man with the munchies cannot stop eating them. Get the recipe here…

175g Butter softened
50g Icing Sugar
175g Plain Flour
50g Custard Powder
1 Tsp Vanilla essenceCream butter and icing sugar until pale, add vanilla paste mix to combine, Add sifted dry ingredients, mix until you reach a soft dough. Roll into small even sized balls, place on greased trays, flatten with a fork. Bake 10-15 minutes at 180c. Make sure not to brown them too much, as they’re meant to be a soft gold colour When cold, join together with Vanilla Custard Icing. Makes 35 bite sized biscuits.
Vanilla Custard Icing
200g Icing Sugar
1 Tbsp Butter melted
1 Tbsp Custard Powder
1 tsp Vanilla essence
Boiling WaterSift icing sugar and custard powder into a bowl, add melted butter and Vanilla essence. Add boiling water a little at a time until you reach a spreadable consistency.
I baked them a tad too long. They aren’t supposed to brown. Still tasted yummy though!
And here’s the vanilla custard cream that you sandwich between the biscuits. Don’t let it get too runny. You can also add a layer of rasberry jam which makes it even better. Enjoy!
