Remember my Mum’s amazing vegan carrot cake recipe? It caused quite the stir and is still the most popular recipe on this blog! Way to go, Mum! β₯
Excited by her dΓ©but vegan baking success, she’s back with another treat for us!
Yup, it’s the magical biscuits that made your heart melt when you were growing up. The creamy, delicate, melt-in-your-mouth circles of deliciousness that gave you tingles from your tongue to your toes.
They’re not a health food but they are a fast, easy treat guaranteed to win friends and giggles.
Ladies and gentlemen, please give a big round of applause for Mum’s Incredible Melting Moments:
Makes about 15 biscuits.

April 14, 2013 at 8:02 pm (5 years ago)Just checking on one of the ingredients, it calls for corn flour, just making sure it is not corn starch

April 14, 2013 at 8:12 pm (5 years ago)Hi Maggie! From what I understand, they are one and the same. In Australia, it is called Corn Flour – a popular ingredient traditionally used to thicken sauces or soups. I hope that helps. π

April 24, 2013 at 8:30 am (5 years ago)Hi, made these last night as a trial run for a vegan bake stall we’re having this Saturday. Taste testing them on my co-workers and they taste great but they are very crumbly. Any tips to rectify this or is it just a characteristic of this type of biscuit? Thanks, I think you blog is awesome. Made the curry the other night as well.

April 26, 2013 at 2:34 pm (5 years ago)Oh thanks so much, Therese! It’s lovely to have you here. π
Maybe try increasing the margarine a little, but Melting Moments are traditionally quite crumbly. They’re definitely not a ‘neat’ cookie – prepare for crumbs!
