All-butter shortbread is a health food!

Because of all the media hoo-ha about ultraprocessed food (which does seem to make some sense), I've been looking out for things without loads of ingredients, without oils like rapeseed/palm oil and without anything I don't recognise as a "real food".

Obviously it's best to not have loads of biscuits at all, but I do like to have some around, and don't have much time to bake.

Delighted to find out that all-butter shortbread and cornflakes are minimally processed and don't have much shite in them. Much better than jaffa cakes and Special K, etc.

Anyone else have surprising "discoveries" to share in this quest?

I made these the other day and I can fully recommend @Downdownunder recipe. Needless to say I will be making more tomorrow. Clotted cream and strawberry jam on top and just wow!

For my shortbread I use 75% for and 25/l% white rice flour. Makes it extra short and delicious.

@LadyGardenersQuestionTime Bloody hell, that rhubarb and custard cake is lovely! My DD doesn't even like rhubarb so I've got these two beauties to polish off myself over the next few days 😂
