This recipe is nicer than any shop-bought shortbread and it couldn’t be simpler! I posted it last year and loads of you have tried and loved it.
Enjoy!

INGREDIENTS…
Makes about 40 biscuits
• 250g butter
• 110g caster sugar
• 140g self raising flour
• 110g plain flour
• 110g cornflour
INSTRUCTIONS…
• Preheat the oven to 170 degrees (150 fan).
• Cream the butter and sugar together for about 5 minutes with a hand mixer or in a stand mixer until light in colour.
• Sieve in the flours and mix to combine.
• Flour your work surface and roll out until the biscuit dough is about 1cm thick.
• Cut out your biscuit shapes using a cutter of your choice and place onto a baking tray.
• Sprinkle with caster sugar and chill in the fridge for half an hour before baking.
• Bake in the oven for 25-30 minutes - they should still be a very pale golden-brown. Set on a wire rack to cool.
These shortbread biscuits will keep in an airtight container for a couple of weeks!
