Traditional Shortbread is the melt in your mouth buttery and sweet taste sensation that I remember from when I was a kid. Try our Traditional recipe here and see what you think.

Method

  1. Preheat the oven to 160 degrees.

  2. Line two round cake tins with baking paper.

  3. Using an electric mixer, mix the butter and sugar together until light and fluffy.

  4. Add the vanilla.  Fold in the flours gently.

  5. Divide the mixture in half and press into each of the cake tins.

  6. Using a fork, prick the top of the mixture, and score the mixture into wedges with a knife. Sprinkle the top with 2 teaspoons sugar.

  7. Bake for 20 minutes or until mixture is golden but not brown.  Cool in the cake tins and slice.

Recipe Hints and Tips:

  • Traditional Shortbread is suitable to freeze for up to two months.
  • Store in a sealed container for up to a week.
