One of the most classic and beloved of all biscuits – the Melting Moment is actually super easy to make and always a hit. Here we have given it a lovely Orange-y filling but you could also add passionfruit and/or lemon to the mix which would be beautiful too. I’ve also made these with lemon curd in the middle (it has to be really well set to hold) which was delicious.
