Shortbread

By John | Food, Recipes

The best shortbread recipe I know is in the Edmonds Cookbook.

Shortbread

250g butter, softened
1 cup icing sugar
1 cup cornflour
2 cups plain flour

Cream butter and sugar until light and fluffy. Sift cornflour an flour together. Mix sufted ingredients into creamed mixture. Knead well. On a lightly floured board roll out to 0.5cm thickness. Shape into a circle or cut into pieces. Place on a greased oven tray. Prick with a fork. Bake at 150 deg C for 30 minutes or until pale golden. Makes about 30.
