Yo-Yo Biscuits
Updated: Jan 7, 2020

OMG – stop reading now, you have been warned, lol. These yo-yo’s are so good my entire family raved about them for weeks. I had to make more to stop them from nagging! Ever since we were kids, our mum has made yo-yo’s for our school lunches, but unfortunately, she would use custard powder, which is filled with some harmful additives (colour 102 comes to mind). I have made these yo-yo’s completely additive free, just the way we like it! They are brilliant with homemade Raspberry Jam, but store bought will be fine as well, Plus I used 100’s & 1000’s to decorate. Try to find an additive free brand, ensuring an additive-free biscuit You could easily double this recipe. They freeze really well, just don’t join them with jam or anything, freeze a-la-natural Storage – keep in an airtight container for approx one week, or freeze for up to 6 months. We would absolutely love you to leave us a comment below and let everyone know what you think. It’s comments like this that make our day, and help us improve a recipe if we need to. We look forward to reading what you think!
