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.

Instant Pot Cabbage and Beef Soup
This vegetable beef soup with cabbage is a great Instant Pot recipe for cleaning out veggies from your fridge. In my recipes, I use whatever ingredients happen to be in my fridge, but you can easily substitute and add cauliflower, celery, zucchini, etc. Make sure you have at least a 6-quart pressure cooker.

Mini cheesecakes topped with whipped cream, blueberries, and lemon zest make elegant little individual desserts.
Chai Tea Cookies
If you love chai tea, these cookies are for you! The word 'chai' or 'masala chai' is a catch-all for a spiced black tea drunk in great quantities throughout Southwest Asia and parts of Africa. Any bagged spiced black tea would be lovely in this recipe - cut them open and use the mix inside. Store cooled cookies in an airtight container.
