Shortbread....

[seeker]

Does anyone have a tried and trusted recipe that doesn't involve semolina or corn flour? I've promised to make some for tomorrow and I haven't got any of either!

I made it and replaced cornflour with plain flour

MIL's recipe :

8 oz sr flour
4 oz marg
2 oz caster sugar
1/4 tsp salt

160 c

rub marg into flour, stir in ssalt and sugar, bring to a dough

press into 8" sandwich tin, mark into triangles, cook for 30 mins - or rollout and cut into indiv shapes and bake for 10 -12 mins 180 c

yummy but MILS always better than mine for some reason!

i use a 3-2-1 recipe, 3 flour to 2 butter to 1 sugar.

Panda -I've just made your MIL's recipe and it's wonderful! Thank you so much@

glad to help! mine is always ok, but for some reason I always think MIL's tastes better - perhaps because I haven't made it myself!
