Melt in Your Mouth Good!

Just a quick recipe post for you this morning!

It's quite appropriate really since these little babies can be whipped up, baked, cooled and filled all within an hour. Perfect for an impromptu gathering or when PMS strikes and you have cravings which demand satisfaction. No judgement here!


So, if you're missing some buttery, sweet, tartness in your life - I now present to you your salvation: Passionfruit Melting Moments. 

Passionfruit Melting Moments 

Makes ~15 


250g butter, softened
1 1/2 cups plain flour 
1/2 cup icing sugar
2/3 cup cornflour 
1 tsp vanilla extract


For the Passionfruit Filling 

70g butter, softened
150g icing sugar
1 tsp vanilla extract
Pulp of a passionfruit


Preheat your oven to 170 degrees C and line two trays with baking paper.

In a electric mixer beat the butter, icing sugar and vanilla until light and pale in colour. Add the flour and cornflour and continue to beat until well combines and you have a dough form.

Use your hands and roll golf ball sized chunks of the dough into balls. Press gently with your palm to slightly flatten (be gentle! We aren't making pancakes here) then place on your baking trays and lightly press with the back of a fork to get those signature grooves on top. **

Bake in your preheated oven for 20 minutes or until firm and then remove from oven and allow to cool on the baking trays for 10 minutes before moving to a cooling rack to cool completely.

To  make the filling, simply beat the butter, vanilla and sugar together until light and fluffy and then slowly add the passionfruit pulp whilst beating.

Once your biscuits are completely cooled pipe a small amount of icing on the base of half the biscuits and sandwich them together with the other half.

Voila!



**Note**

For an even more eye-catching look you can pipe the biscuit dough onto your trays using a star tip however this dough is quite firm and so you will need to use a very strong piping bag! Anything less will pop from the pressure of squeezing the dough out and let's be honest, no body is after any extra chaos in the kitchen.
