This is my mum’s recipe. \u00c2\u00a0Thanks mum! \u00c2\u00a0I think it makes the BEST shortbread. \u00c2\u00a0It is very simple and you can make the dough and refrigerate it or freeze it for later. \u00c2\u00a0The smell of it cooking is divine. \u00c2\u00a0Warning- you can’t stop at just one piece!<\/p>\n

Ingredients:<\/strong><\/p>\n

290gm (10oz) Plain flour
\n200gm (7oz) butter, softened
\n120gm (4oz) icing sugar<\/p>\n

Method:<\/strong><\/p>\n

Using a food processor or electric beaters, cream butter and icing sugar. \u00c2\u00a0Add flour and blend until well combined. \u00c2\u00a0Place shortbread dough in fridge for approximately 20mins to firm up a little. \u00c2\u00a0Remove from fridge and roll into a log approximately 5cm in diameter. \u00c2\u00a0Cut shortbread into rounds of approximately 0.5cm thick and place on lined baking tray. \u00c2\u00a0Pierce with fork for decoration if desired. \u00c2\u00a0Leave room between biscuits to allow for them to spread while baking. \u00c2\u00a0Bake in slow oven for approximately 30mins or until light golden brown. \u00c2\u00a0Remove from oven and place on cake rack to cool.<\/p>\n

Will store well in airtight container. \u00c2\u00a0To store the dough in the fridge, wrap well in plastic wrap and use as desired. \u00c2\u00a0To store in the freezer wrap dough in cling wrap and foil. \u00c2\u00a0Will store in freezer for a couple of months. \u00c2\u00a0Just remove it well before use, so it will cut through without crumbling.<\/p>\n
