A classic Australian breakfast and tea-time biscuit, yo-yo biscuits are made by sandwiching a thin vanilla filling between cornstarch-based biscuits. This version uses plant-based margarine and a sweetener to make it lactose-free and suitable for people with diabetes.

Step by Step

Prepare the dough

Combine the flour, cornstarch, salt and vanilla in a bowl. Add the room-temperature margarine and sweetener, then mix to form a smooth dough.

Pinch off small pieces of dough and roll them into balls. Arrange them on a baking pan, then press lightly with a fork to make a pattern.

3

Bake

15 min

Bake in an oven preheated to 170°C / 340°F for 15 minutes, until the edges are lightly golden.

4

Cool

10 min

Leave the biscuits on the tray to cool completely for 10 minutes.

5

Fill and sandwich the cookies

10 min

Beat the margarine, sweetener and vanilla to make a creamy filling. Spread it over the flat side of the cooled biscuits and sandwich them in pairs.
