Ingredients Needed
- 200g / 7oz butter, softened
- 100g / 3½oz caster sugar (or granulated sugar)
- 1 free-range egg, beaten
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- 250g / 9oz self-raising flour
- 140g / 5oz oats
How To Make Melting Moments
- Preheat the oven: to 180°C / 350°F / Gas 4. Line a baking tray with greaseproof paper.
- Cream the butter and sugar: In a bowl, cream the butter and sugar together until light and fluffy.
- Add the egg and vanilla: Beat in the egg, then stir in the vanilla extract and flour until well combined.
- Form the dough: Divide the dough into 12 equal pieces, rolling each into a ball.
- Coat in oats: Roll the balls in oats and place them on the tray. Flatten them slightly with your hands.
- Bake: Bake for 12-15 minutes or until pale golden brown.
Recipe Tips
- Ensure butter is softened: Use room-temperature butter for easy mixing and a lighter texture.
- Chill the dough: If the dough is too soft to handle, refrigerate it for 10-15 minutes to make rolling easier.
- Even sizes: Roll dough into uniform balls to ensure even baking and consistent texture.
- Press lightly: Flatten the dough balls slightly with your hands before baking to help them spread evenly.
- Check baking time: Keep an eye on the biscuits in the last few minutes; they should be pale golden brown but not too dark.
How To Store Leftovers?
- Refrigerate: Let the leftover Melting Moments cool to room temperature. Store them in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 1 week.
- Freeze: After cooling, place the Melting Moments in a freezer-safe container or bag. They can be frozen for up to 3 months. To enjoy, thaw them at room temperature before serving.
