Shortbread..mmmm

So I decided to do it, make biscuits! The only recipe I could find that wasn't American Dumplings were shortbread! 
I took some photos of a few steps but I must apologise for the lack of makeup!


So here we go!
Armed with my new Pampered Chef apron I followed this recipe:




2 cups of butter
1 cup of corn flour

1 1/2 cups plain flour

1 cup of icing sugar

a pinch of salt

1) Cream together the butter and sugar then add the sived(?) flour and corn flour and salt. Mix well.

I had to add extra butter to my mixture it just wouldn't stick but they were perfectly fine.

2) knead the dough on a lightly floured surface and then divide into two. Roll both into a sausage and wrap in clingfilm. Put into the fridge for about 30 minutes.

3) Slice your sausages (dough) to make circles and place them on a baking tray. Sprinkle sugar on them.


4) Bake until slightly brown o a medium heat.


 Keep an eye on them because when they come out of the oven and cool they will go harder. I did 3 trays full and the first tray was in the longest and was abit too crunchy!


Practice makes perfect! Happy baking!
