Shortbread Recipe

The shortbread was made using the BBC recipe as follows:

Ingredients:
    125g/4oz butter
    55g/2oz caster sugar
    180g/6oz plain flour

Method:
   1)  Heat the oven to 190C/375F/Gas 5.
    2) Beat the butter and the sugar together until smooth.
    3) Stir in the flour to get a smooth paste. Turn on to a work surface and gently roll out until the paste is 1cm/½in thick.
    4) Cut into rounds or fingers and place onto a baking tray. Prick each round with a fork. Chill in the fridge for 20 minutes.
    5)Bake in the oven for 15-20 minutes, or until pale golden-brown. Set aside to cool on a wire rack.
    6) Dust with icing sugar.
