This Shortbread is simple to make, and are great to give as Christmas presents. To give the shortbread a Christmas theme they are dusted with cinnamon sugar! The shortbread recipe can be adapted to give different flavours. (e.g chocolate, cranberry or nuts can be added instead of Cinnamon)

Ingredients:
175g unsalted butter
75g Castor sugar
200g plain flour
50g corn flour
cinnamon mixed with Castor sugar to dust

Method:
  1. Cut the butter into small chunks and add it to the food processor with the sugar. Whiz for about a minute or until the butter and sugar is pale and fluffy. 
  2. Add the flours and mix until the mixture is well combined. You may need to add a drop of milk to bring the mixture together as a dough.
  3. Wrap and chill the dough for a minim of 30 minutes. 
  4. Heat oven to C170 fan.
  5. Roll out the dough to 1 cm thick and cut out your desired shape. Prick with a fork.
