simple shortbread

The simplest recipe we’ve tried to date, this take on the classic biscuit has only three ingredients.

• 6 oz flour
• 4 oz butter
• 2 oz sugar

Work all together in a basin into a smooth dough with the hand. Roll out on floured board, cut the cake cutter and bake in floured tins.

No problems with this one at all. We used a food processor to mix everything together – which saved a lot of time and effort – and baked at 200 degrees for around 20 mins. It turned out to be absolutely delicious – crumbly but slightly chewy. We found the sweetness of it went especially well with yoghurt. We will certainly be making it again.
