One pot Citrus Yoyo's...


Yoyo Biscuit recipes
Yoyo's = YUM!
These are just like Grandma used to bake, made with the custard taste.

But with the added flavour of zesty ORANGE...

One Pot mix  = EASY!
The butter is melted not creamed with the sugar as traditionally prepared.

You simply mix the ingredients in one pot, 
shape into small balls,
press with a fork and bake.
The yield is 54 single Yoyo biscuits.
You can serve them with a sprinkling of extra icing (powdered) sugar if you prefer.

These look delicious, Tracey Lee. I love dunking cookies in coffee and the orange flavor would be tasty for that. I would have to keep a few without icing for that. Thanks for sharing at Snickerdoodle. Pinning.
