Can I make shortbread without rice flour?

[northerner]

Cause I haven't got any

Will they taste OK?

I never use rice flour in mine, and it tastes (without blowing my own trumpet too loudly)gorgeous. Just ordinary plain flour is fine.

i have a fantastic recipe that's just butter, plain flous, cornflour and icing sugar.

i'll get it if you like.

Oh, it's an easy one ...

6oz plain flour
pinch of salt
4 oz butter
2 oz caster sugar

Grease and base-line an 8" round tin, or a baking sheet

Sift the flour into a bowl with the salt, rub in the butter until the mixture resembles breadcrumbs, stir in the sugar and then work the dough together with a knife until it forms a ball of dough

Press the dough into the tin, or roll out into an 8" circle on the baking sheet then crimp the edges, prick all over with a fork

Bung in the oven 180C/GM4 for about 30 - 35 minutes or until pale golden. Sprinkle with extra caster sugar while it's still warm, leave for a few minutes then mark the surface of the shortbread into wedge shapes. Allow to cool completely before removing from the tin.

also never use rice flour, and they turn out!

If someone has a recipe (sorry for hijacking here, northerner ) for shortbread with rice flour, I'd love it! I bought a big bag of rice flour as I'd heard you were supposed to use it, but can't find a recipe anywhere.

If you use the shortbread recipe I posted earlier, you can just replace 2oz of the plain flour with rice flour.

Thanks, WWB

if u have any add a drop or two of almond essence, yummy scrummy!!!
