Method
1. Set the oven to 160C/gas 2.2. Place all the ingredients together in a food processor and whizz until the mixture forms a smooth dough (if preferred this can be done by hand in a bowl using soft butter).
3. Roll the shortbread out to form a circle with a 20cm diameter and flute the edge (alternatively, press into a 20cm loose bottomed cake tin).
4. Prick gently over the top with a fork and score the surface of the round into 8 even wedges. Sprinkle with caster sugar. Bake for 20-25 minutes until firm and golden.
5. Set aside to cool a little, but cut into wedges while still slightly warm. Store in an airtight tin.

View all comments (8)Hi Jane, if you don't have a food processor, you can use your fingertips to rub the ingredients together and shape the mixture into a ball before rolling it out.
We made James Martin's shortbread recipe the other day and it turned out very well, you might like it try it as well - [link]
