    Well DD and I have been baking today. We are on our second batch of melting moment biscuits. So far so good.

    I'd really like to be working on my blocks but am unable to work out how to change my foot so it sits in pieces until I can go into town next week. Baking will just have to do :lol:

    Googled and found this recipe; similiar to Russian Teacakes w/o nuts and uses cornstarch for the 'melt' in your texture.

    Hi Carol,
    I have a new Janome with the built in walking foot, well I took the SID foot off as someone wanted to have a look at it but then couldn't get the foot back on. Eventually got it back on but the back piece which grabs the foot wouldn't attach. I was fiddling around trying to get it to attach and must have touched something I shouldn't as the whole lot fell apart so now I have 3 pieces I don't know how to re attach. The book is doubly gook to me. Will have to wait untill I can go to town on Tuesday till I can have the lady in the sewing shop show me how to put it all back together (do much better myself when I am shown)
    Thanks for asking

    Had a look at this recipe you listed, is different to the one I use. The MM's that we made have a lemon cream filling between the biscuits.

    They are melt in your mouth :D

    Okay, here is the recipe. Hope you enjoy it.

    Melting Moments

    250g. butter, softened
    ½ cup icing sugar
    1 teaspoon vanilla essence
    1½ cups S.R. flour
    ½ cup custard powder

    Citrus Cream Filling
    100g butter chopped
    1 teaspoon grated orange rind
    1 teaspoon vanilla1 cup icing sugar
    2 teaspoons lemon juice

    1. Preheat the oven to moderate 180oC. Line two baking trays with baking paper.
    2. Cream the butter and icing sugar in a bowl with electric beaters until light and fluffy, then beat in the vanilla essence.
    3. Sift in the four and custard powder and mix with a knife, using a cutting motion, to form a soft dough.
    4. Roll level tablespoons of dough into balls and place on the trays, leaving room for spreading. Flatten slightly with a floured fork.
    5. Bake for 20 minutes, or until lightly golden. Cool slightly on the trays before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely.
    6. For the Citrus Cream: Beat butter and essence and rind in a small bowl with electric mixer until light and fluffy. Gradually beat in icing sugar and juice. Use to sandwich the biscuits together. Leave to firm before serving.

    What is S.R. flour? Also, what is custard powder? We don't have anything here by that name.
