    Shortbread pastry is high content butter pastry making it short and crumbly. It's normally used for desert dishes.

    Typical recipe

    200g plain flour
    300g unsalted butter
    1 egg
    1 egg yolk.
    pinch of salt.

    Everything has to be cold.
    Rub the butter into the salt and plain flour.
    lightly beat the egg yolk and egg
    combine with the flour, the mixture will be wet
    Roll out the dough between two sheets of cling film
    once rolled leave to cool in the fridge before cooking for about 1/2 hr.
