Yo Yo's...or Melting Moments

I made these this morning...and they're delicious.

I had a bit of a disaster at first though. I used an old recipe from a little yellow book compiled by the Frankston Lions Ladies. I think I've had it since the 1970's. It's biscuits were titled Custard Kisses and the recipe included an egg, with custard powder, sugar, butter and self raising flour. But when I put them in the oven they melted into each other and turned out looking like pancakes.

I then hit Taste.com...and came up with these. They're from Notebook: Feb 2008...but most importantly, they're yummy!

Ingredients:

------------

125g butter, softened
3/4 cup (115g) plain flour
1/4 cup (45g) icing sugar
1/3 cup (50g) custard powder

Filling:

--------

60g butter, softened, extra
2/3 cup (110g) icing sugar mixture, extra
2 tsp finely grated lemon rind
1 tbs lemon juice

Preheat oven to about 160 degrees. Cream butter and sugar, add custard powder and flour and mix until just combined. Roll into small balls and place on a baking tray that has been lined with baking paper. Bake for about 12 to 15 minutes then allow to cool

To make filling... combine butter, icing cugar lemon rind and lemon juice and mix until light and fluffy, then sandwich between two biscuits.

As a variation, you can also add some passionfruit to the mix for an extra bit of zing!
