{has_more=true, offset=30, total=173, results=[{comment_text=This is a fabulous receipe. It is my go to one for shortbread. I knead it a bit after mixing and before rolling in to a log shape and then refrigerating. When it is cold, slice it, thick or thin, whatever takes your fancy. Great mixture for rolling out and cutting into shapes for Christmas baking etc.Everyone loves it and sometimes I add cocoa to make it chocolate shortbread., approved=true, user_name=Loulou, hs_createdate=1702249884163, rating_new__1_5_=5, id=11175347724}, {comment_text=SO AWESOME AND SO EASY!!

I had to put a lot more corn flour and plain flour to be able to roll it with 250g margerine. It worked out just fine., approved=true, user_name=Patricia, hs_createdate=1702249883689, rating_new__1_5_=2, id=11175484815}, {comment_text=Nice basic recipe. I changed it from when the dough has been made, put in fridge. Once cool the dough is easier to form into shapes eg roll into balls shapes or as per video. Did not add sugar crystals. Seems a bit much.

I am here today as I have misplaced that recipe, but I have used this one and applied the Shortbread making skills I learnt from my very good recipe. So, Shortbread is about feel, and it should be kneeded by hand until the dough all forms a solid all and no longer sticks to the wall of the bowl. The flour quantity varies, and my recipe had a range for the quantity. I applied that here, so following other reviewers complaints the dough was too soft, I put the entire 1.5cups of flour in. Then I left the flour and cornflour open next to my bowl and proceeded to kneed the dough. Once I established the consistency, I literally added just a small hand grab of each type of flour, and got that silky smooth ball of dough I was looking for. They have just come out of the over and look absolutely perfect. I have only given 4 stars as I feel your recipe should read 1.5 to 1.75 cups of flour as required. Then it would be perfect., approved=true, user_name=Kiri, hs_createdate=1702249883540, rating_new__1_5_=4, id=11174084940}, {comment_text=I have used this recipe for years and it is a winner every time.

Method

Preheat oven to 150°C bake (140°C fan forced).  Grease oven tray or line with baking paper.

Beat butter and Chelsea Icing Sugar until pale and fluffy. Mix in Edmonds Fielder's Cornflour and Edmonds Standard Grade Flour until the mixture comes together and forms a dough.

On a floured surface, roll out dough to 1 cm thick and cut into shapes using biscuit cutters. Alternatively, roll dough into a log and slice into rounds, using a floured knife to prevent sticking. Sprinkle with Chelsea Coffee Sugar Crystals if desired and press down gently.

Place on prepared tray and bake 25 - 30 minutes, until shortbread is pale but crisp. Cool on a wire rack and store in an airtight container.
