Gee’s Melting Moments

INGREDIENTS:

for the biscuits

-          210 g butter

-          90 g icing sugar

-          120 g plain flour

-          120 g corn flour

-          ½ tsp baking powder

-          Pinch of salt

for the icing

-          60g soft butter

-          110g icing sugar

-          Zest of 1 orange

-          1 tablespoon orange juice.

METHOD:

Preheat the oven to 160°C. Line a baking tray with greaseproof paper.

Beat the butter and sugar together until light and fluffy. Sift in all remaining ingredients and combine well. Roll into balls, place on the baking tray and press gently with a for to flatten them a bit.

Put the biscuits into the fridge for about twenty minutes so that they can firm up a bit; this will stop them from spreading all over the place when they go in the oven.

Remove the biscuits from the fridge and bake them for about 15 minutes, until they are cooked through and are a light golden colour.

For the icing, beat the butter and sugar until it is light and creamy. Add the zest and juice and mix in well. Use liberally to sandwich the biscuits together.
