This recipe for melting moments is at least thirty years old. My sister-in-law gave it to me when both our children were in primary school and always hungry when they came in.
Ingredients
- 3 oz caster sugar
- 4 oz soft butter or margarine
- 5 oz self-raising flour
- 1/2 egg
- approximately 2 oz porridge oats
Method
Switch on oven to 180 C. Grease a flat baking tray – a swiss roll tin is perfect.
Cream together the butter and sugar until smooth and light. Add the egg and beat well.
Mix in the flour, making sure the flour is well blended into the mixture.
Using your hands take golf size pieces of the dough and form them into balls. This quantity makes between 10 and 12 melting moments – this time I made 11.
Coat the balls in rolled oats.
Place on the baking tray and flatten slightly.
Lightly press half a cherry into the centre. I forgot to do this and added the cherries when the melting moments came out of the oven. The cherries didn’t stick so well 😉
Cook in the oven at 180 C for about 15-20 minutes until the melting moments are turning golden.
Cool on a wire rack.
Enjoy!
