- Preheat the oven to 180 C / Gas 4. Lightly grease a loose-bottomed 25cm square tin.
- Place the plain flour, sugar, butter and ground ginger in a food processor; process until it all comes together in a ball.
- Transfer the mixture into the prepared tin; flatten it out with the palm of your hand or the back of a spoon until it is evenly spread. Prick the shortbread all over with a fork. Cut the shortbread into squares or bars now to minimise crumbling after baking.
- Bake for 35 minutes, or until golden. Remove from the oven and cool for 10 minutes, and then carefully retrace the cuts with a knife. Cool completely.
