Shortbread
- Ready In:

- Serves:

8
ingredients
- 150 g butter
- 100 g caster sugar
- 275 g plain flour
directions
- Preheat oven to 180 C / 350 F / Gas Mark 4.
- Cream the butter and sugar together in a mixing bowl.
- Work in the flour with a wooden spoon or mixer. It won't look right - just like a pile of crumbs. That's how it should look.
- Press into a mould / tin (I used an 8" round shortbread ceramic mould) - and I really mean press. Pour out a pile of the crumbs, press them down until they're compact, then spread the rest over and compress them down too, then bake in moderate oven for 35 - 45 minutes, or until the shortbread is golden in colour.
- Remove from the oven and allow to cool BEFORE turning out of the mould / tin.

I love to cook, and I love to eat! As a result I prefer to cook and eat healthy, low cal food on the whole, but only if it tastes good :-) I'm British, lived in Germany for 12 years, but have now moved back to the UK.
We try to grow and make as much of our food as we can.
