BAlmoral Shortbread Recipe

Ingredients:
225g (8oz) plain flour
225g (8oz) butter
115g (4oz) icing sugar
115g (4oz) cornflour
1tsp salt
1-2tsp vanilla paste

​Method:
1.
​Preheat the oven to 175C/350F. Add all of the ingredients, except the vanilla in a large bowl and work together until it resembles breadcrumbs. Add the vanilla and lightly bring together.
2.
Tip out onto a lightly floured surface and gently knead to form a dough.
3.
Dust a classic Scottish shortbread mould with flour and press the dough into the cavity. Using a sharp knife, trim the top to make a flat surface, alternatively you can use a round cake tin, or roll out and cut fingers or rounds.
4.
Gently turn out the shortbread and place onto a lined baking tray. Using a fork, prick the surface of the shortbread all over and bake in the oven for around 20 mins – you want the shortbread to remain a light sandy colour.
5.
Once baked, remove from the oven and, using a sharp knife, score the surface of the shortbread into wedges, this will create a defined break when it comes to portioning. Dust the surface with sugar and leave to cool for at least 1 hour. Enjoy with a cup of tea of your choice.
