MELTING MOMENTS

We first had these in a nearby town known as "Little Sweden". I purchased a cookbook which luckily had the original recipe within! There are other melting moment recipes, but most use cornstarch. These are the real deal - and truly will melt in your mouth! Always a crowd pleaser!

1 cup butter (please don't substitute!)
2 cups flour
2 tablespoons powdered sugar
1/2 cup butter
2 tablespoons maraschino cherry juice
2 teaspoons milk
2 -3 cups powdered sugar, to make a thick frosting

Steps:

  • Mix butter, flour and powdered sugar.
  • Roll into balls the size of ping-pong balls.
  • Place on cookie sheet and flatted to about 1/2 inch.
  • Bake at 425* for just a few minutes until the edges just begin to show color (really watch them closely!) When cool, frost with the icing mixture on the FLAT side- to create a sandwich cookie.

ORIGINAL BE-RO MELTING MOMENTS-AFTERNOON TEA BISCUITS OR COOKIES



Original Be-Ro Melting Moments-Afternoon Tea Biscuits or Cookies image

These are great little "light as a feather" and meltingly crisp English style biscuits, or cookies. This recipe is the slightly adapted recipe from the Be-Ro Flour cookbook - they suggest lard, but I don't "do" lard! Melting Moments ALWAYS made an appearance on my grandmother and mum's afternoon tea table, and we also had them popped into our lunch boxes for school. The recipe is SO easy to rustle up and they stay crisp and fresh for up to 5 days in an airtight tin. You can roll them in coconut or oats, I prefer coconut - but I am sure they would be just as nice with oats, which is a suggested alternative. Children and "big children" love these, and they really are melting moments, great with a cuppa English tea!

Time 30m

Yield 25-30 Melting Moments

Number Of Ingredients 6

5 ounces soft butter or 5 ounces soft margarine
3 ounces caster sugar
2 teaspoons vanilla essence or 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
5 ounces self raising flour
desiccated coconut or oats
glace cherries

Steps:

  • Heat oven to 180ºC, 350ºF, Gas Mark 4. Grease two baking trays.
  • Cream the butter or margarine with the sugar until very light and fluffy. Beat in the vanilla essence or extract.
  • Stir in the flour and mix well.
  • Roll walnut sized pieces of the mixture into balls and toss in rolled oats or desiccated coconut.
  • Cut each glace cherry into quarters, for quarter for each melting moment.
  • Place on baking trays, flatten slightly and place a small piece of cherry on each biscuit. Bake for 10-15 minutes until golden brown but NOT dark brown.
  • N.B. To help shape "ball" type biscuits, slightly dampen the hands.

Tips:

  • Make sure your butter is at room temperature before you start baking. This will help the cookies come together more easily and will also make them more tender.
  • Don't overmix the dough. Overmixing will make the cookies tough.
  • Chill the dough for at least 30 minutes before baking. This will help the cookies hold their shape.
  • Bake the cookies at 350 degrees Fahrenheit for 10-12 minutes, or until the edges are just starting to brown.
  • Let the cookies cool completely before filling them with jam or frosting.

Conclusion:

Melting moments are a classic cookie that is perfect for any occasion. They are easy to make and can be customized to your liking. With a little planning and effort, you can make melting moments that are sure to impress your friends and family.
