Clare’s shortbread is so easy and something that would be great to do with the kids in the kitchen. There are a lot of the recipes over the course of the year that are great to get kids involved. Check out this full list of all 52 and take your pick!
As i still haven’t had chance to find the rice flour I will go ahead and post the details from Claire. If you make yours before I upload my pics give me a yell. I will pop a link up for others to see.
Words are copied and pasted from Claire’s email so I’m handing over to her now 🙂
Here is my all time favourite recipe. This recipe is the result of my pootering in the kitchen over the years. Trying various recipes and tinkering about till I came up with a fail safe formula. It takes less than five mins to prepare this and not much longer to cook.
Ingredients:
8oz plain flour
8oz unsalted butter
4.5 oz icing sugar (I believe the american for this is confectioners sugar – anyhow it’s the real fine stuff, like sugar dust)
4.5oz really fine rice flour
What to do:
Mix all the ingredients in a large bowl until it looks like fine breadcrumbs. 
Pour it out into one large baking tray or two small ones – I have two 8″x 11″ trays that I use for this. You want a tray that has sides but not too deep.
Give your tray a shake to make sure you have a fairly even layer of crumbs all over. Do not be tempted to use a wooden spoon or any thing else to smooth out the shortbread. 
Bake at about 170 degrees centigrade/325 farenheit/gas mark 3 until the shortbread is a light brown colour. Mark/cut into squares while it is still warm but leave it in the tin to cool.

Thank you so much Claire and they really do look mouthwatering!
