Ingredients

• 150g Caster Sugar
• 300g Salted Butter (at room temperature)
• 400g Plain Flour
• 50g Cornflour

Directions

• Preheat your oven to 160°c and grease a couple of baking trays with a little butter. Cream together the butter & sugar in a large bowl on a medium speed until it becomes light & fluffy. Sift in your flour & cornflour and mix on a slow-medium speed to form a stiff dough. Tip the dough onto a floured worktop and gently knead until smooth. Roll your dough to around 1cm thick and cut into your desired shapes. Transfer each shortbread to your pre-greased baking trays and prick each one with a fork on top. Bake at 160°c for around 15-20 minutes until the edges of the shortbread are golden. Remove from the oven and sprinkle a little sugar over each shortbread. Leave to cool on their tray for around 10 minutes before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely.
