Not actually bread. Very simple and easy
Ingredients enough to fill a ...
Baking tray about 12" x 7"
4 oz sugar (brown or white)
8 oz butter
12 oz flour.
(you can add some cracked wheat to the flour if you like, to make it coarser and more crunchy)
Mix the sugar and flour in a large bowl
Cut in the butter, when it is soft enough mix the whole thing with your fingers until you get a soft lump
Set the oven to 180deg C, grease the baking tray
With the aid of a sprinkling of flour to prevent sticking, roll it out to about the size of the baking tray, roll it carefully around the rolling pin and deposit it in the tray, trimming the edges and refraining from eating the trimmings - instead, find a place for them in the tray and level the whole thing out with any handy flat object
With a knife mark divisions into the size of chunks you want, prick all over neatly with a fork and bake for
30 - 40 minutes.
Don't let it get too brown. It may be necessary to turn the tray for even cooking.
Without removing from the tray, cut the divisions all through and when cool enough place a wire rack on top and invert all to deposit the shortbread on the rack. When cold, eat but not too much, then store the rest in a box out of the reach of dogs and children. Keeps well if not seen by said dogs and children.

Sounds yummy! Nothing keeps well if seen by dogs or children. :)
ReplyDeletemmmm I may have to try this :D
ReplyDeleteOh yum. I love shortbread but have never made it--I had no idea it was this simple. Well, the keeping away from dogs and children might not be simple, but the recipe sounds nice and easy.
ReplyDeleteI love shortbread, and it is the simplest, most wonderfully easy treat to make. I like to add chopped nuts to mine. Cashews are wonderful, but just about any nut that you like can be a wonderful addition.
ReplyDeleteHugs, Sue
Thanks for the tip Sue. I'd like to see your profile or blog but it isn't available, email me if you are willing
