Shortbread

Cakes, Biscuits and Bread  

Ingredients

200 gm Butter
300 gm Plain flour
100 gm Caster sugar

Method

Pre-heat the oven to 175�C.

Cream the butter and caster sugar. Work in the flour until thoroughly mixed. Spread into a well-greased baking tray and prick all over with a fork. Bake for 10 minutes at 175�C then for a further 25 minutes at 150�C. Cut into fingers before the shortbread sets too hard.

Notes

If preferred, roll the dough to a thickness of 3/4 inch (15mm) and cut out biscuits with a pastry cutter. Place the biscuits on a baking tray and bake as before. You may need to keep an eye on the shortbread to avoid overcooking.

Variation

Use a mixture of plain and rice flour.
