Melting Moments


Melting moments

Why?
I haven’t eaten one in what feels like years!

Time Taken:
15mins+15mins+5mins=35 mins

Number of Dirty Dishes:
Biscuit tray, medium bowl, fork, measuring cups, table knife, small bowl

I used:
250g dairy free margarine, cubed
1/3 cup gluten free icing sugar
1t vanilla
1 1/3 cups gluten free flour
1/3 cup gluten free corn flour.

Icing
60g dairy free margarine at room temperature
1t vanilla
Lemon rind to taste
2/3 cup gluten free icing sugar

What I did:
Preheat oven to 160C and line biscuit tray with baking paper.
In a medium sized bowl beat dairy free margarine, sugar and vanilla until pale and creamy.
Add flours and mix until biscuit dough is just combined.
Roll into balls (the bigger the ball the bigger the biscuit) and place on tray 5cm apart (they do spread). Flatten slightly with a fork. Bake 15 minutes. Take out of oven and leave to cool (they will solidify more). Once cool, mix the icing ingredients together in a small bowl. Using a table knife cover the base of the biscuit in icing and press the base of another biscuit on the top. Repeat until all biscuits are iced. Eat and enjoy!

Comments after eating Melting Moments:
They really do melt in your mouth! Delicious and dangerously moreish! Although they are not so tidy to look at. Once iced they look a bit more respectable, but once you taste them the look of them does't matter so much!

What I would do different:
Make a bigger batch! Also experiment with a little less margarine in the hope that they would spread less.
