Melanie shares her scrumptious shortbread recipe, hoping it will inspire people to get baking and have fun doing it.
170g salted butter
170g plain flour
85g cornflour
85g icing sugar
- Remove the butter from the fridge and allow it to get to room temperature.
- Mix all the dry ingredients together and sieve into a bowl. Add the butter in cubes and gradually rub in until mixed well.
- Work the mixture into a dough and gently knead it.
- Roll out 8-10mm thick and cut into desired shapes and place onto a greased baking tray.
- Put the tray in the fridge for at least ten minutes to chill, before placing in the oven on the top shelf at 160°C for around 15-20 minutes until they start to turn golden brown.
- Sprinkle with caster sugar whilst still warm and leave to cool, then enjoy!
