This is a classic shortbread recipe that I've been making since a teenager. This is the original recipe I used a few decades ago, albeit the sugar which I reduced by 30g, but if you have a sweet tooth, best to add 30g to th recipe!
Ingredients:
- 250g butter
- 90g castor sugar
- 360g flour
Method:
Mix butter & sugar together in a stand mixer until creamy, add sifted flour and continue mixing until a rough dough.
Turn the dough into a well greased pan and flatten with fingertips until evenly spread, about 1/2cm thick.
When nicely spread, prick all over with a fork.
Bake at 180°C for 25/30 min.
Remove from the oven and with an adapted knife cut into squares and leave to cool in the baking pan.
Once cool, remove and enjoy!
