This week I am pleased to share a recipe from the Craik family. This recipe is a simple version of the traditional shortbread biscuit. The recipe is easy to follow and would be fun for your children to help you with. What shapes could you make your shortbread? You can download a printer friendly version of this recipe below.
SHORTBREAD BISCUITS
200g butter
½ cup sugar
¼ cup milk
1 teaspoon vanilla essence (optional)
Preheat oven to 170 degrees. Grease or line two large trays with baking paper.
Bring butter to room temperature, then chop. Combine the butter and flour in a large bowl. Use your fingertips to rub in the butter until it resembles fine breadcrumbs. Add sugar and milk to form a firm dough. Wrap in glad wrap and rest in the fridge for 20 minutes. Roll out dough on a floured bench, then cut into shapes of your choosing. Bake for 15 to 20 minutes or until golden.
