Directions
Original Be-Ro Melting Moments-Afternoon Tea Biscuits or Cookies, These are great little light as a feather and meltingly crisp English style biscuits, or cookies This recipe is the slightly adapted recipe from the Be-Ro Flour cookbook – they suggest lard, but I don’t do lard! Melting Moments ALWAYS made an appearance on my grandmother and mum’s afternoon tea table, and we also had them popped into our lunch boxes for school The recipe is SO easy to rustle up and they stay crisp and fresh for up to 5 days in an airtight tin You can roll them in coconut or oats, I prefer coconut – but I am sure they would be just as nice with oats, which is a suggested alternative Children and big children love these, and they really are melting moments, great with a cuppa English tea!, OK, what is caster sugar? I know this is a British recipe Oh, and it’s self rising flour, not self raising , Does anyone know what the measurements are in cups instead of weight?
