Passionfruit Melting Moments

I had a baking failure tonight and wound up throwing out a whole batch of cookies. DDD:

Perhaps we should focus on memories of happier times. Here are some cookies I recently made for a high tea. We had a really lovely afternoon and it was so nice sampling everyone's homemade food.


Passionfruit melting moments



250g unsalted butter
40g (1/3 cup) icing sugar
1 teaspoon vanilla essence
185g (1 1/2 cups) self-raising flour
60g (1/2 cup) custard powder

Passionfruit filling:
60g unsalted butter
60g (1/2 cup) icing sugar
1 1/2 tablespoons passionfruit pulp


Preheat oven to 180C (350F). Line two baking trays with baking paper

Beat eggs and sugar until light and creamy. Beat in vanilla essence.

Sift in flour and custard powder. Mix to a soft dough.

Roll level tablespoons into 28 balls and place on trays. Flatten slightly with a floured fork.

Bake 20 minutes or until lightly golden. Cool on wire rack.

For filling, beat butter and sugar then beat in passionfruit pulp. Use filling to sandwich biscuits together. Leave to firm before serving.
