The BEST damn Shortbread ever.

Wow, Christmas has been and gone. Of course it was lovely. Ritchie and I were super-dooper spoiled. I made Margaret Fulton's 'Cherry Pavlova',  and it was flipping delish.

Given that it's Boxing Day and we're still allowed to feel festive, I thought I'd share a brilliant family recipe. This is my Nana Barb's Shortbread. It is THE best shortbread I have ever eaten, trust me, I've had my share. 

It is also incredibly easy to make. So here it is.

Barb's Shortbread.

INGREDIENTS

225 grams of butter 

2 tablespoons of icing sugar

2 tablespoons of castor sugar

2 tablespoons of cornflour

2 1/2 cups of plain flour

METHOD

Melt butter, add sugars and cornflour and whisk for 5 minutes.

Beat in flour and press into an ungreased tin.

Mark edges and prick with a fork.

Place into a moderate oven for 20-25 minutes.

Dust with additional castor sugar.

ENJOY!

Here's a lovely picture I like, as I hate to post without an image. Sorry, I can't remember where I found the picture.

Love,

I'm going to do this

Hey Hey, 

I'm not religious, however I do believe in helping those less fortunate than me. So I suppose in that respect I have some ideologies that are similar to those of 'The Samaritans'. 

I know we have different sources of motivation, but who cares about the motivation, let's simply focus on the outcome. 

I'm going to be participating in 'Operation Christmas Child', an initiative established and organised by 'The Samaritans' 

Feel free to join in too. 

 

Love, 

E.
