Now iv done the same every other time..about 1.4c custard powder instead of all cornflour. We love them. Just measure the butter correct and you'll get to roll them out and shape them., approved=true, user_name=Muff1n, hs_createdate=1714615716259, rating_new__1_5_=5, id=13060095393}, {comment_text=Absolutely delicious. Although, I found for the biscuits to be well baked and crispy when cold, they needed more baking time that the recipe stated. I cooked for another 10 minutes. A few of them got a slight colour to them, but I didn't mind as they were not doughy in the middle and were crispy., approved=true, user_name=Tracey Dickinson, hs_createdate=1702249884690, rating_new__1_5_=4, id=11175680048}, {comment_text=Absolutely lovely.

Agree with some of the other reviews that the cooking time should be more like 35 minutes. I struggled to work the dough and wondered if I should have put the dough in the fridge for a bit before rolling it. If you use margarine instead of butter I would suggest using just 200g of it plus leave dough in fridge an hour or so., approved=true, user_name=Giulia, hs_createdate=1702249867735, rating_new__1_5_=5, id=11175388431}, {comment_text=I think that this cookie was delicious an amazing melt in your mouth one and I love the fact that they are gluten free amazing a big thumbs up for this recipe: ), approved=true, user_name=Lila, hs_createdate=1702249867057, rating_new__1_5_=5, id=11175447157}, {comment_text=Is maize cornflour the same as cornflour?Chelsea Sugar:Yes, both are ground corn., approved=true, user_name=Sara, hs_createdate=1702249863630, rating_new__1_5_=3, id=11175379613}]}

Method

Preheat oven to 150°C. : Mix all ingredients in a food processor until smooth and well combined. Roll dough on a maize cornflour dusted surface to a 1cm thickness. Cut into fingers or press out shapes using cookie cutters. Place on a baking tray and prick with a fork. Bake for 25 - 30 minutes until pale but crisp (longer slower baking is the trick with shortbread). Cool on a wire rack and store in an airtight container.
