Melting Moments

I haven't forgotten my Biblical Food series but have been inundated with work and haven't had a chance to do some proper research so shall take a little side road and post a recipe we tried the other day from my grandmother's trusty CWA 1960s cookbook.

My older son had a friend came around to play so I asked the kids if they'd like to make a mess. They did, so we did as you can see from the photo.

The melting moments were lucky to last 10 minutes out of the oven, but it was a fun activity for some active kids on a rainy, wet day.

Ingredients
1/2 1lb (250g)

Melting Mess

butter
2 Tb cornflour
2 Tb icing sugar
7 Tb plain flour

Method
1. Cream butter and sugar, add cornflour and mix thoroughly.
2. Add plain flour and mix thoroughly.
3. Press out and cut into shapes.
4. Bake on a greased slide (or use baking paper) in a moderate oven for 15 mins.

It looks like big fun to me Samatha, and tasty results are always a plus.

Hi Nevar,
I've learnt that the messier kids get the more fun they have. I don't mind as long as we all clean up afterwards, which we did..

Good for you Samantha, having fun sure beats having an ulcer.
