ShortBread

I was over at my aunty's place today baking my fruit cake,not having a proper oven I had to rely on my aunt so while killing time, we made shortbread and also sausages.

4oz caster sugar
8oz butter
12oz self raising flour
nuts for decoration & an egg yolk ,if you desire


  • Preheat oven-fan force 160 celcius or 180 celcius for normal oven.
  • Mix all ingredients using the rubbing method.
  • Then lightly roll the dough on a marble slab.DO NOT use flour to dust your working place.You do not want necessary flour added to your dough.
  • Roll gently and use a cookie cutter to cut out cookies
  • Place then on baking paper,place a nut on each cookie, brush cookies with egg yolk if you want and bake until golden brown
