Every time I make shortbread it seems to go all crumbly. It looks like shortbread until you try to cut it and tastes like shortbread so I think I'm nearly there.
Am I cooking it for too long? I use less time than the recipe says and just wait for it to go slightly golden. How do I know it's just done?
Am I overmixing?
Are my proportions wrong?
I want biscuits like what you get in packets
