Shortbread

Other recipes | Dessert recipes

Makes enough for 3 people in two sittings. Store in a tin. Adapted from "Cooking with competence" from AEG. I put in around 2oz less sugar than they suggest. To form the dough, the water is essential as a result. Hoever, if you are in a humid enviornment, you will need far less water than you will in a dry area. You are literally trying to form a dough with as little water as possible.
