Crunchy delicious shortbread biscuit

Preheat oven to gas mark 5. Place butter and sugar in a medium sized mixing bowl. Whisk until creamy.

Split your flour into 5 tbsps and 6 tbsps. Add 5 tbsps and mix until fully incorporated. Then add the rest of your flour and mix.

Shape the dough with your hands into a ball. Sprinkle your worktop/board with flour. Place dough on the worktop and flatten with hands. Then roll out with a rolling pin until 3/4 cm thick.

Cut the dough into fingers and place in the fridge for 15-20 minutes.

Remove dough from the fridge and sprinkle each finger with a small amount of caster sugar. Place in a greased tray and cook in the oven for 15-17 minutes until golden.

Allow shortbread to cool down in the tray at room temperature.

Dig in and enjoy.
