Cooking steps

Get Prepped
1
  • Separate 1 egg white from the yolk.
  • Reserve 1 tbsp flour.
  • Add sugar, butter and remaining flour to a large bowl.
  • Knead with your fingertips until the butter is incorporated and the dough has a crumble-like consistency.
  • Add the egg yolk and mix until the dough is smooth.
    Wrap in cling film or baking paper. Refrigerate until firm to touch, 30-45 mins.

TIP: To speed things up, freeze the dough instead, 15-20 mins.

Shape the Shortbread
2
  • While the dough cools, preheat the oven to 190°C/170°C fan/gas mark 5.
  • Sprinkle some reserved flour over your work surface and your dough.
  • Using a rolling pin, roll the dough out to about 5mm thickness.
  • Using round cookie cutters or a small round glass, cut out the shortbread shapes.
  • Roll the remaining dough into a ball, and repeat the process until all the dough has been used.

Little Chef's TIP: Have the kids help shape the shortbread.

Bake and Serve
3
  • Place the shortbread shapes onto a lined baking tray, spacing them well apart.
  • Bake for 10-15 mins, or until lightly golden.
  • Leave to cool and serve.
