Scottish Shortbread....

This is the biscuit that I used to love especially when I was still flying with our national airline. Marks and Spencer is the best place to buy this biscuit hehehe.....and also their delicious trifle, that's hubby's favorite. Everytime I have a flight to London, this two things will surely in my bag on my way back to KL.

Rindunya nak pergi London, especially the shopping ! Kalau summer sale lagi best especially di Oxford Street, Harrods and a few places.

Tried a few recipes but to me this is the best, it's from Daily Delicious.


Ingredients

1 cup (8oz/250 g) unsalted butter, at room temperature
¼ cup (1oz/30 g) confectioners’ (icing) sugar
¼ cup (2 oz/60 g) granulated sugar, plus 1 tablespoon for sprinkling
2 teaspoons vanilla extracts (essence)
1½ cups (7½ oz/235 g) all-purpose (plain) flour
¼ teaspoon salt

Method
Preheat the oven to 300°F (150°C).
Have ready an ungreased 9-inch (23-cm) square baking pan.
In a large bowl, using an electric mixer on high speed, cream the butter until fluffy and pale yellow. Add the confectioners’ sugar and the ¼ cup granulated sugar and continue beating until the mixture is no longer gritty when rubbed between your finger and thumb. Beat in the vanilla.
Sift the flour and salt together onto a sheet of waxed paper. Gradually add the flour mixture to the butter mixture and mix on low speed or stir with a wooden spoon just until blended.

Using floured fingertips, press the dough evenly into the pan. Sprinkle evenly with the 1 tablespoon granulated sugar.
Bake the shortbread until the edges are golden, about 1 hour.

Remove the pan from the oven and immediately use a thin, sharp knife to cut the shortbread into strips 3 inches by 1 inch (7.5 cm by 2.5 cm). Use a toothpick or the tines of a fork to decorate the shortbread with a pattern of dots. Let the strips cool in the pan on a wire rack for 30 minutes before transferring them to the rack to cool completely.
