Shortbread Biscuits

 Shortbread biscuits have always been a favourite of mine since my childhood.  Back then I loved the sugar topped shortbread biscuits that came in a tin at Christmas time. Since discovering this recipe I can enjoy them whenever I like.  I hope you enjoy them too.

225g Plain flour - sifted

115g Rice Flour - sifted

115g Castor Sugar - sifted

1 pinch of Salt

225g of Butter at room temperature


Preheat your oven to 150 degrees Celsius.

Combined all the dry ingredients together in a bowl.

Rub in the butter with your fingers until well combined.  It should come together as a slightly crumbly dough.

Transfer the dough onto a floured surface and knead it slightly until it comes together.

Roll the dough out with a rolling pin ( or similar ) and cut into biscuits with either a knife or biscuit cutter.

Place on a greased oven tray and bake for 20 - 30 minutes until light brown.

Cool on the oven tray then transfer to a cooling rack.

Store in a an air tight container.

  7. Thank you for your recipe! I have converted it to US measures and will get rice flour on my next grocery trip. I guess I will try making castor sugar too. It will be a learning experience! I bet they will be delicious.

  8. I make round shortbread biscuits, but form the dough into a roll, put it in the freezer for 5-10 mins until it's nice and firm, then cut slices off to make round biscuits. It's so much easier than cutting out individual biscuits.
