Traditional All-Butter Shortbread
A traditional, all-butter Shortbread. Just a few ingredients and a simple method needed to make these crisp, buttery, shortbread cookies.
Prep Time 20 minutes mins
Cook Time 20 minutes mins
- 8 oz or 225g butter
- 4 oz or 110g caster sugar (superfine sugar)
- 8 oz or 225g plain flour (all-purpose flour)
- 4 oz or 110g cornflour (corn starch)
- pinch of salt
Preheat oven to 325F/165C.
Cream the butter and sugar until light and fluffy.
Sieve the flour, cornflour and salt and mix into the creamed butter and sugar until well incorporated.
Roll out and cut into rounds. I used a 58mm/2¼inch cookie cutter and got 26 cookies from the mix.
Bake for 15-20 minutes, or until pale golden.
Remove to a wire rack to cool and dust with sugar while still warm.
