Passionfruit Melting Moments

buyhercandy:

I made a half-quantity of this, and it made 20 small balls / 10 medium biscuits. It’s an adapted recipe from an old Australian Women’s Weekly cookbook.

Ingredients:

Biscuit:

• 250g unsalted butter, softened
• 1/3 cup icing sugar
• 1 tspn vanilla essence
• 1 1/2 cups self-raising flour

Filling:

• 60g unsalted butter, softened
• 1/2 cup icing sugar
• half a large passionfruit

1. Preheat the oven to around 170C. Lightly grease a baking tray.
2. Cream butter and icing sugar in a bowl using an electric beater or mixer. When the mixture is light and fluffy, beat in the vanilla essence. Sift in flour, and mix to form a dough.
3. Roll teaspoons of the dough into balls (even numbers!) and place them onto the tray. Make sure you leave room between each ball, as they will spread somewhat. Flatten the balls with a floured fork. Bake for around 20 minutes until lightly golden in colour. Cool slightly on the tray, then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely.
4. Beat the butter and sugar in a bowl with electric beaters for the filling. The mixture should be white, light and creamy. Beat in the passionfruit pulp, then use a heaped teaspoon of filling to join pairs of biscuits. Leave to firm, then eat!

See? Easy :D
