Hey everyone,

you all know how much I love baking, so today is another baking post! I'm sharing you the best recipe for shortbread biscuits - enjoy xx! (Makes about 10)

Ingredients:

120g of Softened Unsalted Butter
70g of Caster Sugar - plus extra for dusting
165g of Plain Flour
15g of Porridge Oats (these are just to add a bit of texture to the biscuit)

Preheat the oven to 160C/Gas Mark 3. Line 2 baking trays with baking parchment.

Cream the butter and sugar together until light and fluffy. Sift in the flour, then mix in the oats and bring the mixture to form a dough. Wrap in clingfilm and chill for 30 minutes.

Roll out the dough until about 1cm thick. Cut into rounds and place on the 2 baking trays. Chill them for another 30 minutes.

Now bake them for 8-10 minutes until very lightly coloured. Remove from the oven and immediately dust them with caster sugar, then leave to cool. Et Voila! How quick was that!
