Buttery Flaky Shortbread

sb44

I have made shortbread in the past but not like this which looks to be a lot more moist that our shortbread recipes.

Anyone fancy giving it a go? I may try it tomorrow but it won't have any dried fruit etc as my daughter wouldn't eat it.

Shortbread is normally made with the ratio 3:2:1 flour, fat, sugar. The above recipe has double the sugar, when you put extra sugar in shortbread it has a tendancy to spread in the oven, it is really nice but very sweet. Too much sugar makes it a syrupy mess. It is not more moist just more crystallised.

I have a simple recipe for moist shortbread,

5oz s r flour
4oz plain flour
3oz corn flour
5oz caster sugar (and some for sprinkling on top) (I use granulated cause I am a cheapskate ;-). )
8oz butter

Melt butter in pan, add everything else, press into tin, !!!!! with fork and bake 40 mins at bout 170-180 depending on oven. Cut into fingers while hot and sprinkle with sugar.

Delicious, and keeps very well.
