Burns Delight...

With it having been Burns Day on Friday, what better time to go Scottish and make a batch Shortbread.

I looked up many a recipe but thought I'd settle on experimenting with this one from Nigella.

Shortbread

100g icing sugar
200g plain flour
100g cornflour
200g unsalted butter

Pre heat oven Gas Mark 3/160C

Measure the icing sugar, plain flour and cornflour into the food processor and whizz, great tip from Nigella to save sieving there. I can’t stand sieving.


Add the butter and mix until dough forms.

Turn the dough out into a tin lined with baking paper and form into an even layer. I used a small rolling pin to get a nice even finish.


Cut the shortbread into fingers, and bake for 20-25 minutes.


Shortbread should be pale, but not doughy and perhaps slightly golden at the edges. 


Allow to cool and enjoy... perhaps with a wee dram.

It just melts in the mouth...heaven

Happy Baking
