Strong white bread flour

It's the only flour I have left at the moment ... can I use it, instead of plain flour, for making shortbread? Or will it be too heavy?

Thanks

I wouldn't use it - too high a proportion of gluten

Thank you, Carole & Penny. Guess I'll just have to wait till tomorrow & get some more plain flour in. Can't believe I have none!
