TM 5
If you are using a Thermomix® TM6 measuring cup with your Thermomix® TM5:
For cooking (simmering) at temperatures of 95°C or above (200°F), the simmering basket should always be used instead of the TM6 measuring cup, as the TM6 measuring cup fits tightly in the lid. The simmering basket rests loosely on top, is steam-permeable, and also prevents food spatter from the mixing bowl.

Tip
Tips: Step 7 - Teaspoon-sized will get 50 pieces (25 biscuits). Step 9 - When transferring to cooling rack, pair them up size-wise with one face up and one face down, ready for icing. Step 2 - Ice all face down biscuits before joining so if you have been too generous or stingey you can rectify before joining all the biscuits up.

I didn't have custard powder so just substituted cornflour. Made them quite small and got 13 pairs from the recipe. The icing quantity was spot on 🙂

Not sure if this is the same recipe I normally use but it turned out great. No changes. Made them larger using a spoon bigger than a teaspoon but smaller than a tablespoon. Made about 13. Hubby loved them. I might double next time. Thank you

I was looking for a biscuit recipe to use some of the passion fruit curd I had just made. Although these melting moments tasted fantastic with the curd, it just oozed out when the biscuits were joined together because after all, it's more of a spread.
I whipped up the filling and joined up the rest of the biscuits and they were delicious.
I also added a blob of filling to those biscuits that contained the passion fruit filling.....OMG they were soooo good so next time I will add the passion fruit curd to the filling.
Thanks for a great recipe.

Amazing and delicious! Very easy to make! We also added one passionfruit juice to the icing mix and it was the perfect amount for a yummy twist.
Found one teaspoon to be too small but one tablespoon to be too much. Somewhere in the middle would be a happy medium.

These are so delicious. You cannot stop at just one.
I wanted to try piping them the way you see in shops so I added an extra 95g butter to make it soft enough. It then made 29 complete biscuits. I increased the icing mix by 50% but would double it next time.
Perfect! I make these weekly, and everyone loves...
Perfect! I make these weekly, and everyone loves them. I always double the recipe. I find teaspoon sized biscuits a bit small, so I use a level amount of dough on a 15ml spoon to make the biscuits. I end up with 30 completed yoyos out of a double batch. I find I need to add about 5ml of milk to the icing to make it come together. Thanks for such a lovely recipe.

Yo-yos are my all time favourite biscuits but I’ve been on a ban as my boys are allergic to dairy. Simply converted this recipe using Tablelands smart spread in place of butter and whamo! Absolutely delicious. Thanks for converting the recipe and the tips and tricks made it so much simpler - thanks!!!

Fabulous recipe. My oven slightly over cooked top tray and undercooked bottom tray at 180 deg 12 mins. Next time might shuffle trays at 6 or 7 mins. Not a fault in recipe though, fault in my oven! Thanks for sharing, will definitely make again.

These were a trip down memory lane for me. My late Nan loved yo-yos. The recipe tuned out perfectly even with me defective oven! My partner neeeded something for smoko, let's hope there's still some for him to take!!

Loved these! Successfully used 45 grams cornflour and a teapsoon of vanilla essence instead of 45g custard powder in the biscuit as per other comments. They didn't last long enough to make icing and sandwich together.

Just wondering but do you think this recipe could be used in a cookie press,? All recipes I tried seem to stick to the end of the press so it's do frustrating. But will definately try this recipe with or without the press. Just want pretty shaped biscuits hehe.
