This shortbread recipe is a compilation of several recipes I have from British cookbooks. I have been to England three times and real shortbread is a favorite. It should use real butter and not be too sweet.
Ingredients
- 0.25 cups white sugar
- 0.5 cups unsalted butter
- 1 cup all-purpose flour
- 0.33 cups white rice flour
Instructions
-
1
Preheat oven to 325 degrees F (165 degrees C).
-
2
Line a baking sheet with greaseproof (parchment) paper. Sift the flour and rice flour into a medium mixing bowl. Add the sugar and mix.
-
3
Cut butter into pieces and rub into the flour with your fingertips until the mixture begins to bind together. Knead into soft dough.
-
4
Roll the dough into an 8 inch round (or for exact round, mold it in an 8 inch cake pan). Place on baking sheet. Using a fork, prick top and make tine marks along edge. Using a table knife, score top with wedge marks. (This is where it will break when cooled)
-
5
Bake 45 minutes or until pale golden in color. Sprinkle a little superfine sugar over top and cool on baking sheet. Cut into wedges. Keeps for weeks in airtight tin.

Real French Crêpes
This no-butter crêpe recipe is one of the first ones that I learned as a child growing up as a French-Canadian in Montreal. The crêpes can be served either in the traditional style with real maple syrup or cold with ice cream rolled into it and chocolate syrup on top for dessert.
