Yoyo's = YUM!

These are just like Grandma used to bake, made with the custard taste.

These are just like Grandma used to bake, made with the custard taste.

But with the added flavour of zesty ORANGE...

One Pot mix = EASY!

The butter is melted not creamed with the sugar as traditionally prepared.

You simply mix the ingredients in one pot, 

shape into small balls,

press with a fork and bake.

The yield is 54 single Yoyo biscuits.

You can serve them with a sprinkling of extra icing (powdered) sugar if you prefer.

OR

27 joined with the tangy orange icing.

I prefer them joined with icing.

So delectably good.
