Shortbread Recipe

Shortbread

A wonderful addition to the biscuit tin...

Ingredients:  250g Cornflour
                           250g Caster Sugar
                           500g Unsalted Butter
                           500g Plain Flour

Method:

1. Grease and line a 10" tray with greaseproof paper and preheat the oven at 170 degrees Celsius.

2. With the fingertips mix the flours and butter until a crumb is formed. Add the sugar and mix quickly, but thoroughly to avoid overworking the dough (as this will effect the final outcome).

3. Push the mixture down into the tray and bake for approximately 20-25 minutes until slightly firm, but still has no colour on the top.

4. Once out of the oven, sprinkle over extra caster sugar and portion immediately.

5. Store in an airtight container and consume within 2 weeks.
