Katy's Shortbread
Make this tasty shortbread. Recipe devised by Kate Morris and Sally Brown.
This should take about 30 mins
You will need:
- 60g plain flour
- 40g butter (room temperature)
- Half a teaspoon vanilla extract
- 20g caster sugar
- 6 glace cherries
Remember to ask a Grown-up for help.
What to do:
Step 1
Before cooking, wash your hands and put an apron on. Weigh and measure all the ingredients. There should be enough for eight shortbread biscuits using the quantities shown.
Step 2
Put the flour and butter together in the mixing bowl, then rub with your fingers. Just imagine you are tickling the ingredients. Keep tickling until it becomes crumbly.
Step 3
Add half a teaspoon of vanilla extract to the bowl and then mix in the caster sugar. Tear the glace cherries into small pieces and add these to the mixing bowl too.
Step 4
Now squeeze the mixture into a ball with your hands until it all sticks together and sprinkle a clean surface with flour. Then roll the dough out flat with a rolling pin until it is about 0.5 cm thick.
Step 5
Now use a cutter to cut shapes out of your mixture and place them onto a baking tray that has been pre-covered with baking paper. You can re-roll the dough to cut more shortbread biscuits until it is all used up.
Step 6
You will need to ask a grown-up for help with this part. Place the tray in a pre-heated oven at 160ºC Fan/180ºC/Gas 3 for 12–15 minutes.
Step 7
Once they are cool you can eat them, but not all at once!
Step 8
Serving suggestion: make these biscuits as a lovely gift for someone special or serve one or two each with some fresh fruit and a glass of milk for a healthy snack. This dish can be frozen for up to one month.
