Best Ever Melting Moments

I used this melting moment recipe a few weeks ago and was blown away by how amazing the biscuits turned out! I made a few adjustments to it to make it my own. This recipe is super easy and the biscuits turn out absolutely perfectly! (If I do say so myself…)

Ingredients:

200g butter, softened
1 teaspoon vanilla essence
½ cup icing sugar mixture
1 ½ cups plain flour
½ cup cornflour

 Passion fruit butter cream filling
1-2 passionfruit/s 
80g butter
2/3 cup icing sugar

For lemon butter cream filling:

1 lemon
1 tablespoon of zest
80g butter
2/3 cup of icing sugar




Method:

Preheat your oven to 180 degrees Celsius.

Grease and line two biscuit trays.

Beat butter, essence and sifted icing sugar in a mixing bowl with an electric mixer until light and fluffy.




Stir in sifted flours in two batches to the mixture.




Using a teaspoon, spoon out the mixture and roll into small balls with lightly floured hands.



 Place the dough about 3cm apart on the baking paper lined oven trays.  Flatten slightly with a floured fork. Put the trays in the oven and bake for about 15 minutes. Leave to cool.




To make the butter cream beat butter and sifted icing sugar in a small bowl. You can use an electric mixer if you wish. Add the passionfruit juice. Add however much juice you need depending on the taste you want, usually one passion fruit will be enough. You don’t have to use passionfruit juice; you could always use 1tbsp of lemon juice and 1tbsp of zest . You may need more icing sugar depending on the consistency you want.





Sandwich two biscuits together with a teaspoon of  butter cream.  Dust the biscuits with extra icing sugar.  Enjoy!
