Cooking Ingredients for Shetland Shortbread Recipe
8 oz Plain (all-purpose) flour
2 oz Self raising flour
3 oz Cornflour (cornstarch)
3 oz Castor (superfine) sugar
8 oz Butter or margarine, or a
– half/half mixture is good
Shetland Shortbread Preparation
Melt butter. Mix dry ingredients. Add and knead all together. Pat or roll into baking sheet (to about 1/2 deep). Prick over with fork. Sprinkle with sugar. Cut into 1 by 2-3 strips when taken from oven. Bake at 350F/160C/Gas Mark 4 on bottom shelf of oven until a pale beige colour (15- 25 minutes). I use castor sugar not granulated and a half butter half margarine mix to get the best results. I usually make double quantities, since it keeps well in an air-tight tin. Note that this does have a lighter feel than shortbreads from other parts of Scotland. From Gemini”s MASSIVE MealMaster collection
