Perfect with a cup of camp coffee, these homemade melting moment biscuits are a tasty snack on a busy day. They are tender and light, with a delicate lemon-flavored filling. They are wonderful to share with friends or to eat in a quiet moment by yourself.
The biscuits, which are light and delicate, are a variation on a more traditional shortbread. They are sandwiched together with a light lemon filling. The resulting melting moment is a delicate treat.
The filling can be modified by adding an alternate juice such as passionfruit or orange. The filling can be spooned onto the biscuit. Or, for a cleaner finish, the filling can be piped from a bag.
