Answer 2

A real favourite at Christmas - buttery, melt-in-the-mouth shortbread is a delicious traditional Christmas treat. This easy recipe will help you to make your own Shortbread at home!

Degree of difficulty: Low

You need:
250 butter, unsalted
1/3 cup caster sugar
1 teaspoon vanilla essence
2 cups plain flour
½ cup rice flour
extra caster sugar to sprinkle on top

Method:
Preheat the oven to 'very slow' - about 150 deg C. Don't be tempted to cook the shortbread too fast.

Line a baking tray with non-stick baking paper.

Beat the butter in a small electric mixer bowl until white and creamy. Add the sugar and vanilla essence and continue eating til the mixture increases in volume and goes a pale, creamy colour.

Add the sifted flour and rice flour, stirring in with a wooden spoon til well combined. Divide the mixture into two and knead each piece into a smooth, round ball.

Roll each ball out into a round flat 'cake' then mark lightly into segments with a knife and pinch a decorative pattern around the edges.

Sprinkle with sugar and bake for 50 -55 minutes or til a very pale golden colour. Remove from the oven and place on a wire rack to cool.
