    Shortbread biscuits?

    I know that Christmas is coming around, and you can easily buy Shortbread Cookies/Biscuits but they're usually $5 for a packet of 8.

    I was wondering if anyone had a recipe to share to make shortbread biscuits?
    Oh, and I'm not cooking them because of Christmas, I'm cooking them cause they're my latest craving

    Made some yesterday, 225g butter 1/3 cup sugar and 2 cups of flour. The trick is to beat the butter until it is super fluffy then add the sugar and finally the flour. Refrigerate the dough for an hour them cook in a low oven. The author said to freeze the shortbread to make them taste more buttery.

    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.

    We make shortbread every year. Have done so for forever as it was my Granny's tradition also. There's a few recipes I love. I like it both with and without rice flour Turkish shortbread is nommy too.

    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!!!
