The Best Shortbread Recipe...

Shortbread is one of the easiest things to make and this recipe only contains 3 ingredients! I hadn't made it in so long but with how simple this recipe is, I thought it was a great bake for a cold afternoon! It took me no time at all and it tasted beautiful!

Ingredients:

185g butter
75g caster sugar
250g plain flour

Method:

1. Line a square baking tin with baking paper and pre - heat oven to 180 degrees
2. In a bowl cream together the butter and sugar until smooth
3. Then add in the flour, mixing until it forms a dough
4. Tip the dough into baking tin and flatten down, making sure it's evenly spread out
5. Use a fork to make several holes in the dough and then sprinkle a bit of caster sugar on top
6. Bake in the oven for 25 minutes then leave to cool and cut into squares

It really is as simple as that, it only took me a few minutes to prepare the dough so it's a great thing to bake if you need to make something fast and it won't make too much mess either! I cut this into 9 squares and it tasted lovely. When I tried it the inside was still a bit warm so that made it even better. I remember having shortbread and custard at school and that is the only thing that would have made this even better! This is definitely the best shortbread I've ever made, I can't wait to have a reason to make it again!
