20-24 Yum Yum Yo Yo Biscuits
ingredients
- 150 g butter, preferably unsalted
- 4 tablespoons icing sugar
- 1 cup self-raising flour, sifted
- 1⁄2 cup custard powder, sifted
- 1⁄8 cup slivered almonds (optional)
-
Butter Cream
- 60 g butter, softened, preferably unsalted
- 1 1⁄2 cups icing sugar
- pink food coloring (optional)
directions
- Cream the butter and icing sugar until light and fluffy; add the sifted self-raising flour and custard powder and mix to a firm dough; fold in the slivered almonds (if using).
- Taking a teaspoonful of the mixture, roll into balls and place onto a baking paper lined oven tray; press lightly with the back of a fork (see TIP below) and bake in a preheated oven at 180°C/350°-375°F/4-5 gas mark for 10-12 minutes.
- Make the butter cream by beating the butter and icing sugar together until the mixture is light and fluffy; add 1-2 drops of food colouring (if using) to make the cream pale pink; join the biscuits together with butter cream.
- TIP: When making the pattern with the fork, dip the fork in plain flour to prevent it sticking to the biscuit mixture.

July 2008 update: VERY happy to be back on Zaar after about a two year absence due to having had no internet connection at home, and having been too unwell for a time so that getting re-connected wasn't even a priority!
<br>
<br>And really looking forward to getting back into the Zaar world and connecting again with the many wonderful people I knew before, and new people, of course!
