Strawberry Melting Moments
Method
Total Preparation time: 15 mins + 30 min refrigeration
Biscuits
- Preheat the oven to 160°C (fan-forced). Line 2 baking trays with baking paper.
- Place butter, vanilla and icing sugar in a bowl. Beat with a hand or stand mixer with padel attachment for 1 minute or until smooth, pale, and fluffy.
- Combine the plain flour and cornflour. Then add to the butter mixture a third at time, folding each in with a spatula until combined. Mix until a soft dough forms.
- Scoop 24 tablespoon-sized portions of dough onto the prepared trays. Using lightly floured hands, roll each portion into a ball and then gently flatten each with a fork to 1cm thick.
- Bake for 15 minutes, until the biscuits are very lightly coloured. Remove from the oven and leave the biscuits to cool completely on the trays before filling.
Buttercream
- Using a hand or stand mixer with whisk attachment, combine the butter and icing sugar on medium-high speed for 5 minutes.
- Add the vanilla on low speed until combined. Increase speed to high and beat for a further 8 minutes. Add milk one teaspoon at a time until a creamy, spreadable consistency is reached.
Assembly
- Pipe or spread buttercream onto half of the biscuits, top with jam and sandwich with remaining biscuits.
- Place into the fridge for 30 minutes to set before serving.

Should I grease my baking tins?
This helps stop food sticking. Brush the tin with melted butter or use some baking paper with a little butter on it to rub around the inside of the tin.
