Best shortbread recipe

[ZingyLemon]

Hi me with your favourite - want to make some heart shaped shortbread for tomorrow...

Can't link - on phone, but look for recipes that have rice flour along with the plain flour. The shortbread will be crisp and delicious.

When you're making the recipe, make sure you cream the butter within an inch of its life. Cream it until your mixer is smoking.

Made the Guardian one linked about - I didn't have rice flour so just used regular but still delicious and kept their (heart) shapes after a chilled before baking

I do
9oz plain flour
6 oz salted butter
3oz caster sugar

Mush together in the KenWood or other mixer food processor whatever. Knead together by hand. Roll out. Cut into shapes.

Bake on greased baking sheets for 30 min at 150 degrees. You might need to do a higher temp, our oven is ferocious!
