Melting Moments / Yoyo’s

“when I was little I used to take these to Footy cause the cost of yoyo’s was stupidly expensive”

Biscuits

125g softened Butter (room Temperature)

40g or 1/4 Cup icing sugar

1 ts Vanilla Essence

3/4 Cup plain flour

50g or 1/3cup Custard Powder (i recommend white wings brand)

Icing

80g/ ½ Cup of Icing Sugar  
2 ts of hot water 

Lemon juice or Vanilla Essence to taste

1.       Cream the butter till it goes lighter in colour then add the Icing sugar and Vanilla.

2.       Add the flours and mix to combine.

3.       Roll into balls, press with a fork and put in a moderate oven (180 Degrees) for 15 Minutes.

4.       For the Icing, add the icing sugar and water together, you may need to add more icing sugar or water to get the icing to a thick consistency (and lemon or Vanilla.)

5.       Once the biscuits are completely cooled put some icing between two biscuits.

Notes: I prefer the water based icing opposed to the butter cream icing. I also use the white wings vanilla custard because for my first test batch I used the Foster and Clarks custard powder and there were little bright orange dots all the way through the mix. The photo below shows both versions - the one on the right has the bright dots and has butter cream icing.
