YUM YUM YO YO BISCUITS
Adapted from a recipe I found on the Simply Great Meals website. Faced a dilemma in settling on a name for these. They are n-e-v-e-r called Yo Yo Biscuits, just Yo Yos... the Simply Great Meals website called them Yo Yo's, but the apostrophe makes no sense, and without the apostrophe the name looks like Yo YOS - which sounds silly and is NOT what they are known as! Conversions: 150g = just under 5oz; 60g = 2oz. Personally, I'd prefer to omit the food coloring. Not anti-pink, just prefer to avoid unnecessary chemicals. Seems to me that even a 1/2 teaspoon of cherry juice would achieve the pinkness if that's what you're after. The slivered almonds are not generally found in a traditional Yo Yo: I've added those. I'm of the belief that yummy nut never goes astray, be it in sweet or savoury dishes.

Steps:
- Cream the butter and icing sugar until light and fluffy; add the sifted self-raising flour and custard powder and mix to a firm dough; fold in the slivered almonds (if using).
- Taking a teaspoonful of the mixture, roll into balls and place onto a baking paper lined oven tray; press lightly with the back of a fork (see TIP below) and bake in a preheated oven at 180°C/350°-375°F/4-5 gas mark for 10-12 minutes.
- Make the butter cream by beating the butter and icing sugar together until the mixture is light and fluffy; add 1-2 drops of food colouring (if using) to make the cream pale pink; join the biscuits together with butter cream.
- TIP: When making the pattern with the fork, dip the fork in plain flour to prevent it sticking to the biscuit mixture.

Tips:
- Use real butter: This will create a more flavorful cookie with a better texture than if you use margarine or shortening.
- Chill the dough before baking: This will help the cookies to hold their shape and prevent them from spreading too much.
- Don't overmix the dough: Overmixing will toughen the cookies.
- Use a cookie scoop to drop the dough onto the baking sheet: This will help the cookies to be evenly sized and shaped.
- Bake the cookies until they are just set: Overbaking will dry out the cookies and make them crumbly.
- Let the cookies cool completely before storing them: This will help them to keep their shape and flavor.
