Ok another question. I've made Teninas lemon curd and it hasn't thickened enough to use to sandwiche these together, could I add another couple of egg yolks or some cornflour to thicken it up or should I just go with white chocolate ganache and raspberry jam.

I would add another egg  yolk and reheat. It will,thicken as it cools.

Well I didn't end up eating any but they were a big hit. Once I've spent all that time cooking I rarely feel like trying what I've made, particularly with sweets. I think I could still improve as they didn't puff as much as the bought ones I've tried and the sample ones I ate when first made were a little chewier than the ones I've eaten before.

One word...stunning! How did you get the perfect circles? Whoopie tray or circles from Internet?

They were surprisingly easy to make, I used a template from the Internet to pipe the even circles. Thanks for all the complements.

Judy its not that I didn't have room, I actually didn't even get time for dinner that night, I'm really not a sweet tooth and I rarely eat things I spend a lot of time cooking - weird I know. I did have a few glasses of bubbly though!
