Afternoon tea Yo Yo

I've always be fond of Yo Yo biscuits. I have never been able to master the Edmonds Cook recipe. But I'm pretty good at leaving behind crumbs when i eat them!

Biscuits:

185g butter
60g icing sugar
60g custard powder
185g plain flour

Filling:
2 tablespoons butter, softened
4 tablespoons icing sugar, sifted
few drops vanilla essence
few drops colouring, if desired

Cream butter and icing sugar until light in colour and consistency.

Sift custard powder and flour three times. Stir into creamed mixture.

With floured hands roll teaspoonfuls of mixture into balls about the size of a small walnut.

Place on greased tray and press flat using a fork dipped in flour. (You will probably need to dip the fork into the flour between every biscuit to avoid sticking.)

Bake in a pre-heated 160 deg C oven for 15 - 18 minutes or until a pale golden colour. (The bottoms should be golden brown.)
