Ingredients
Melting Moments
  • 250 g butter, room temperature
  • ½ tsp vanilla bean pasta
  • 250g plain flour
  • 85g icing sugar
  • 40 g custard powder
  • ¼ tsp salt
ButterCream
  • 75g butter, room temperature
  • 150g icing sugar
  • 1 tsp vanilla bean paste
  • pinch salt
  • jam
Instructions
  1. Preheat oven to 160C (140C fan-forced) and line two baking trays
  2. Place the butter and vanilla into a large mixing bowl and beat together until smooth and creamy
  3. Sift the remaining ingredients into the bowl and gently mix together until you form a soft dough (you can use a wooden spoon or your hands).
  4. Using your hands roll the dough into small balls, and place onto the prepared trays ensuring you leave an inch or two between each ball.
  5. Using a fork, press the fork onto the centre of each biscuit leaving an indent.
  6. Bake the biscuits in the preheated oven for 20 - 25 minutes.
  7. Allow to cool on baking trays for five minutes before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely. Whilst the biscuits are cooling, make the buttercream.
  8. Place the butter into a large bowl and beat together until smooth and creamy, then slowly add in the icing sugar little at a time, beating until fully combined. Once you have added all the sugar add the vanilla and salt and beat together until light and fluffy.
  9. To assemble the biscuits, place the buttercream in a piping bag and pipe a circle of buttercream around the edges of half the biscuits. Fill the hole with some jam and top with a second biscuit.
  10. These will keep well for around three to four days in an airtight container.
Notes
Brooke likes to pair her biscuits before filling to ensure an even fit.
