EASY MELTING MOMENTS BISCUIT RECIPE

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 160deg fan assisted. Have ready a baking sheet lined with a silicone baking sheet or baking parchment.
• Cream the butter and icing sugar together until well combined. This will only take a couple of mins if the butter is soft enough.
• Add the flour, cornflour and salt. Mixed everything together to form a smooth firm dough.
• Shape into even small, walnut sized pieces. Place these onto the prepared baking sheet. If you wish to be exact, weight the dough first. Then divide into equal weights.
• Bake in the centre of the oven for 15 - 20 mins. Or until baked. They won't have a deep golden baked colour and may still feel slightly soft as you take them out of the oven. But they will firm up once cooled.
