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!
