  Not the best shortbread recipe i've tried or tasted, my dough seemed to moist, needing lots of flour to mould the mix.

  Very buttery - was a bit worried when all the butter started melting and in the oven biscuits looked as if they were swimming in it! However, once done they were great and my friends devoured it all in one sitting.

  A great straight forward recipe. First time I've successfully made biscuits! Added a tablespoon of cocoa powder and some choc chips & sprinkled with sugar powder. Really tasty biscuits salty, sweet & crumbly yum!

  I decided to try this recipe after my husband came home with a little bag of shortbread biscuits which were dry and very tasteless (I always home-bake but these were a peace offering!). These are absolutely delicious! I did need three yolks though, to help the mixture to bind. I rolled the "sausage" to a thickness of 5cm, wrapped it firmly in cling film and chilled in the fridge for half a hour. Once ready, I cut it in to slices of 3/4cm, placed them on grease proof paper and put them in my fan oven, set at 160 degrees, for 18 minutes. Once cooked I put them on a rack and whilst still warm sprinkled them with caster sugar. Once cooled I put them on a decorative plate as a peace offering in return to my husband - and it worked!!! These are far nicer than any I have bought, or made, before (I find that with all of the recipes from this site too!).

  Never made shortbread before, always have made gingerbread biscuits when I've wanted to create something special (normally for children!), but recently was asked to make some wedding favours, I decided that I needed a good shortbread recipe so that it kept it's shape better than gingerbread when baked. They were a real hit, 60 decorated heart shaped biscuit! To bake them I have a fan assisted oven, but still put them on 180, for 30 minutes, they should still be nice and pale in colour....they keep in an airtight container for around a week, if they last that long!!
