Christmas shortbread biscuits

1 hour 5 min
Great shortbread has always been a Christmas tradition in our family. A few years ago I started to experiment with my great grandmother's recipe, to make it quicker and easier to make. I successfully managed to change the ingredients and the method to make it tastier and fast to make. It's now a family tradition (and expectation) that ALL our family members receive a small gift box of my shortbread at Christmas.

- Preheat oven to 150 C Fan / 170 C otherwise. Place the butter and sugar in a mixer or food processor and cream until pale.
- Once well mixed, add the flours and blend briefly, just until thoroughly combined.
- Tip into a buttered Swiss roll tin (23x33cm) and, using lightly floured hands, press down so it is level all over.
- Prick all over with a fork. Do this carefully, so that you do not disturb the level surface, then bake in the preheated oven for 50-60 minutes. What you are looking for is a uniform pale golden colour all over. Do not allow it to become too dark.
- Remove from oven and cut into squares or fingers in the tin, sprinkle the top with caster sugar. Leave for 5 minutes or so then carefully turn out onto a wire rack, and allow it to cool. Store in air tight container. ENJOY!!!
