Simple Shortbread Recipe
Recipe by Our Whimsical World
Makes 24 biscuits approximately
Ingredients:
• 100g caster sugar
• 250g salted butter, at room temperature
• 360g plain flour
Method:
1) Mix the butter and sugar together until soft and creamy.
2) Add half (180g) of the flour and combine. Add the remaining flour and, using your hands, bring together until a smooth dough is formed.
3) Lightly flour your work surface and rolling pin, then roll out the dough.
4) Line a couple of baking sheets with greaseproof or baking paper.
5) Use a cookie cutter or knife to cut out your cookies and place them on the lined baking sheets. Remember to re-roll the off-cuts and make more biscuits – you won’t want to waste a drop!
6) Using a fork, prick the top of the biscuits. This will ensure they bake evenly and not bubble up.
7) Place them in the fridge for 30 minutes. Pre-heat the oven to 180°c (165°c fan / gas mark 4).
8) Bake for 15-20 minutes until just turning brown. Keep an eye on them – they can turn brown very quickly!
9) Cool on a wire rack for at least 10 minutes to allow them to crisp and cool. Enjoy!
