This weeks recipe is for one of my favourites, Melting Moments; so super simple, super easy and if you bake at all, you most likely shall already have all the ingredients. As there is no egg in this recipe it can be very easily adapted to suit a vegan diet. With a little help from the grown ups it is also one that children love to make as they don’t have to wait very long to have a wee taste.

• 250g Plain Flour
• 250g of butter softened or a butter spread substitute

          Butter Icing
