Grandma's Shortbread
Tip
If you use Gluten Free flour, it makes an even lighter, shorter Shortbread. And I thought I couldn't improve on this recipe. I made this recently for my Gluten free friend and really enjoyed how yummy it was. Try it!!! You won't be disappointed.

Superb.. I wanted like my Nanna's with a tiny bit of crunch so, subbed half cornflour with white rice, milled 30 sec Speed 9, added sugar, milled as p recipe and remainder as p recipe. Chilled a couple of hours in a log so easy to slice and less spreading on the tray when baking.👩🍳

I made these today and it was so easy, especially since this was my very first time making cookies! Will definetly be using this recipe again. Cut Christmas shapes with the dough. Trees and snowmen worked really well. Thank you.
kenwood: Different Brand of Butter or GF Flour?...
kenwood: Different Brand of Butter or GF Flour? Sounds like there a fraction too less fat relative to the flour absorption ability.
The GF flour mixture may have a different binding ability as there's LOTS of grain/seed variables that can be used. OR Different brand butters will have different water percentages and the water doesn't hold a shortbread mix together. 🤓

Just made this today - absolutely divine! So so so easy! I pushed mine into a 20cm tin and then dusted with caster sugar afterwards. I think I need to cook for longer as it was a bit soft still but divine!

This is my go to recipe for shortbread, I roll into a log using cling film and chill in the fridge for 30 minutes before slicing. They taste just as good if not better than Bakers Delight shortbread.

Quick, easy and the best shortbread I’ve ever made!
This first batch won’t make it to being Christmas gifts 😂
I tried using a cookie cutter, but found it a bit soft to work with.
I then stuck to baking slices in rounds and that made it incredibly quick and easy.
Thumbs up from this shortbread junkie 👍🏼

I dont eat shortbread. I dont cook shortbread. I dont buy shortbread but my Ottollenghi 'Sumac-roasted strawberries with yoghurt cream' needed some crunch. OMG. This is the BEST. I, stupidly, halved the recipe and it was inhaled with one short breath. The dessert was delicious and the shortbread made it so.
