Shortbread

This recipe is super easy, delicious and will want you going back for another 10 biscuits. It reminds me of Christmas and has become a staple biscuit in my household.

This recipe has come from the clever people at Taste. 

Ingredients

• Melted butter, to grease
• 225g (1 1/2 cups) plain flour
• 120g (2/3 cup) McKenzie’s Rice Flour
• 100g (1/2 cup) caster sugar
• Pinch of salt
• 225g cold butter, coarsely chopped
• Plain flour, extra, to dust
• Melted white chocolate, to decorate

Method

1. Preheat oven to 150°C. Brush 2 large baking trays with melted butter to lightly grease.
2. Combine the flour, rice flour, sugar and salt in a large bowl. Use your fingertips to rub in the butter until it resembles fine breadcrumbs. Turn onto a lightly floured surface and knead until smooth.
3. Roll dough out until 1cm thick. Use a 5cm-diameter star-shaped pastry cutter to cut shapes from dough. Place on prepared trays. Bake in oven for 45 minutes, swapping trays halfway through cooking, or until shortbread is start to change colour. Cool on trays for 1 hour. Drizzle with chocolate to decorate
