Shortbread

Ingredients
  • 125g/4oz butter
  • 55g/2oz caster sugar
  • 180g/6oz plain flour
Method
  1. Heat the oven to 190C/375F/Gas 5.
  2. Beat the butter and the sugar together until smooth.
  3. Stir in the flour to get a smooth paste. Turn on to a work surface and gently roll out until the paste is 1cm/½in thick.
  4. Cut into rounds or fingers and place onto a baking tray. Sprinkle with icing sugar and chill in the fridge for 20 minutes.
  5. Bake in the oven for 15-20 minutes, or until pale golden-brown. Set aside to cool on a wire rack.
So I'm going to try shortbread this year as well as the gingerbread . I have made this before but not since I was a teenager.

I'll let you know how it goes!!!
