No matter how skint we are everyone loves to munch on something sweet now and again. When times get hard there's generally no money for treats but this easy to make shortbread recipe ticks all the right boxes when you have that sweet tooth!
Quick and Easy Shortbread
Ingredients:
250g (8oz) grams butter
110g (4oz) caster sugar
360g (12oz) plain flour
Method:
Leave the butter out of the fridge so it softens a little, throw it in a bowl, add the caster sugar and beat the hell out of it with a whisk until it has a smooth texture (free muscle work out too!).
Add the flour a little at a time and mix it in well, you should end up with a smooth paste like consistency. Put the mixture in the fridge to chill for 10/15 minutes - this makes it easier for the next stage.
Remove from the fridge and roll out so it's around 1cm thick. Cut into desired shapes (oblong is usually best) and stab it with a fork gently to make it look real (if you really want to, it's not needed)!
Place on a greased piece of baking paper inside a baking tray. Cook for around 15 minutes at 190c or until a golden brown colour. It may seem gooey still but the biscuits will harden as they cool. Leave out to cool and enjoy!
