Classic Shortbread

Classic Shortbread
An old favourite: delicious and incredibly easy to make. Our Jersey butter is perfect for this recipe, as the high melting point stops the shortbread from feeling greasy.


INGREDIENTS: 

  • 125g / 4oz Longley Farm Jersey Butter (half a stick)
  • 55g / 2oz caster sugar (plus extra for sprinkling on at the end)
  • 180g / 6oz plain flour

 

METHOD: 

  1. Heat the oven to 190C / 375F / Gas mark 5
  2. Beat the butter and sugar together until smooth
  3. Stir in the flour to make a smooth paste. Turn onto a worktop and carefully roll out until the paste is about 1cm or half an inch thick
  4. Cut into your favourite shape (rounds, fingers, hearts, cows...) and place on a baking tray.
  5. Sprinkle with caster sugar and chill in the fridge for 20 minutes
  6. Bake in the oven for 15-20 minutes, or until pale golden-brown
  7. Allow to cool - then enjoy!
