Shortbread


  • 6 oz Plain Flour (Sifted)
  • 2 oz Icing Sugar
  • 2 oz Cornflour (this can be replaced with oatmeal (not porridge oats) for a slightly different texture and nuttier flavour)
  • 6 oz Blocks Cold Butter

Heat oven to 160 degrees celsius.

Chop butter and put in food processor with icing sugar, pulse until it starts to form small nuggets. Add both flours and pulse until it looks like breadcrumbs. Empty onto cold surface and knead lightly till it comes into a solid paste. Chill. Roll thinly and cut into rounds. Place on baking sheet and place on middle shelf of the oven until just starting to color (about 15 minutes). Place on cooling rack and while still hot from the oven sprinkle caster sugar over the top.
