These turned out perfectly and are delicious. I'm sure they won't last long in my house!

Good recipe but you need 1 tbsp hot water added to the filling

Ybur

a bit crumbly, what would fix that?

Deborah

I think it should be icing sugar in the icing not white sugar!Biscuits are nice though

Wendy

Yes love Yo Yos and Chelsea icing sugar is smooth if you add a drop of milk to the custard creme filling it really makes the texture smooth.

Ena

Method

Preheat oven to 180°C bake and line two oven trays with baking paper.

Beat butter and sugar until light and fluffy. Beat in vanilla essence. Sift in flour and custard powder and mix with a spoon or spatula to combine.

Roll heaped teaspoons of mixture into balls and place on prepared trays. Flatten slightly.

Bake for 15 minutes or until biscuits are a pale golden colour. Remove from oven and transfer to a wire rack to cool completely.

Filling

Beat all ingredients together until well combined and smooth. Add a dash of milk if mixture is too thick. Spread onto the base of half the biscuits, then sandwich together with remaining biscuits.
