Making your own biscuits at home has never been easier thanks to your Thermomix. This Thermomix Yo Yo Biscuit recipe is so quick and simple to put together you will be enjoying a Yo Yo (or two!) in no time at all.
I love to fill mine with a yummy lemon filling, but you can also mix it up and substitute the lemon juice for the same amount of passionfruit pulp or even make them coffee flavoured by dissolving two teaspoons of instant coffee in two teaspoons of water and adding to the sugar and butter mixture - too easy!
Thermomix Yo Yo Biscuits
Equipment
- Thermomix
- Oven
Ingredients
For The Biscuits
- 190 g butter softened
- 60 g icing sugar mixture
- 1 teaspoon vanilla essence
- 225 g self raising flour
- 60 g custard powder
For The Filling
- 60 g butter softened
- 250 g icing sugar mixture
- 15 g lemon juice
Instructions
- Line two baking trays and preheat your oven to 180 degrees celsius (fan-forced).
- Insert the Butterfly attachment and place the softened butter into the Thermomix bowl. Whip for 20 seconds, Speed 4.
- Add the icing sugar and vanilla essence. Mix for a further 10 seconds, Speed 4. Scrape down the sides and mix for another 15 seconds, Speed 4.
- Remove the Butterfly attachment. Add the self raising flour and custard powder to your Thermomix bowl and mix for 10 seconds, Speed 3. Scrape down the sides of the bowl with a spatula and mix for a further 15 seconds, Speed 3, or until combined.
- Using a teaspoon, scoop the mixture and shape into balls before placing onto your prepared baking trays and lightly flatten with a fork - you should make around 36 biscuits.
- Place the baking trays into the oven and cook for 15 minutes or until the biscuits are slightly golden on top.
- Cool the melting moments on the baking trays for 5 minutes before carefully transferring to a wire rack to cool completely.
- To make the lemon filling, place the softened butter, icing sugar and lemon juice into a clean Thermomix bowl. Mix for 10 seconds, Speed 6 before scraping down the sides and mixing for a further 10 seconds, Speed 6.
- Spoon a little of the filling on the flat side of one biscuit before sandwiching it together with another biscuit.
Notes
- Soften the butter to room temperature before using
- Insert the Butterfly attachment to whip the butter and to assist with mixing through the sugar
- Roll the mixture into teaspoon sized balls and then press down lightly with a fork (TIP: dip the fork in flour to stop the mixture from sticking)
- Bake until just lightly golden (do not overcook). The biscuits will firm slightly as they cool.
- Make sure the biscuits have completely cooled before adding the icing (otherwise it will melt).
- Store in an airtight container for up to 5 days.
- You 'can' freeze the biscuits for up to 3 months, however, they are at their best when eaten fresh.
Nutrition
When preparing your Yo Yo's for the oven, it's important to make sure you flatten enough so you don't end up with a huge Yo Yo biscuit which you can't fit in your mouth!

Definitely make them teaspoon sized not tablespoon. Mine were waaay too big. Very sticky mixture to get into balls.

Emily says
Pretty sure there’s way too much butter in this recipe.
Lucy Mathieson says
Hi Emily, yoyos are definitely meant to be very buttery (that's what makes them melt-in-you-mouth). xx
Sarah says
Is it ok to just use cornflour instead of custard powder? I bought my THERMOMIX cos I LOVED the custard and as a result haven't bought custard powder for 4 years!
Mallory says
Yum yum
Eliza says
Personally a tablespoon size is too big I prefer a tea spoon size 🙂 a nice recipe though!
