    The best shortbread recipe I have ever used is on the side of the McKenzies Rice Flour box - it makes perfect buttery shortbread every time.
    best shortbread recipe EVER!!

    I made shortbread last night , it's an old recipe that our grandmother used during the war,

    12 0z plain flour
    8 oz Butter (room temp best)
    4 oz Caster Sugar (i use rapadura)

    Rub all ingredients together until they form a dough. Press into a tin until it's nice and smooth, cut into bars and ***** with a fork (i put an almond on each piece)

    Put in oven 160 C for 30-40minutes

    THis is So SO SO quick and easy and everyone RAVES about this when they eat it!

    I have used wholemeal wheat, white flour, spelt flour and different sugars, it always works!!!

    Yum, I love shortbread! And Babyluv just gave me a great excuse to bake some - we're going to make a big batch so DS can give it to friends and family as Christmas gifts!

    black-rose and ladiebirdflies - roughly how many pieces do your recipes make?

    And does anyone know how long it will keep for before going stale?

    I know, but I can't claim it. Babyluv suggested it in another thread a few minutes ago

    it keeps for a while in an airtight container, but i can't think exactly how long!

    my gran always used to swear that it was always best if made by someone with cold hands.

    i use the recipe on the rice flour box too

    I use a rectangle slice tin, 20cm x 30cm it depends on how big you cut the slices... at a guess I would say 20??
