Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 160°C/gas 3.
  • Lightly grease baking tray or place a piece of baking paper over the tin (to stop the unlikely event of the Shortbread sticking).
  • Place sifted flour and sugar into bowl and mix together.
  • Dice the margarine and gradually rub into flour until breadcrumbs.
  • Add vanilla essence and carry on rubbing in with fingertips.
  • When the mixture sticks together, place on floured workspace and gently knead until a soft ball.
  • Roll out until 1.5 cm in thickness, then cut into Shortbread fingers or petticoat tails. (Using a biscuit cutter is a good way to get a more defined shape)
  • Prick all over with a fork or a cocktail stick and (for petticoat tails) mark the edges as well.
  • Place in the oven for 15-20 mins and then leave to cool. (Make sure you take the Shortbread out when it is starting to darken round the edges of the biscuit)
  • Sprinkle caster sugar over the biscuits (after fully cooled).

  • Mix all the ingredients together by hand or mixer, to a stiff consistency (the butter shouldn't be too soft, but also not straight from the fridge, especially if you use a mixer). Don't overwork the dough; stop when it just comes together
  • Roll out into the shape of a pan or tin you want to bake them in. I baked this in an 8 x 8 pan. Trim the edges to the approximate size.
  • FINGERS: Place it in the pan of your choice. One mistake many people make is rolling the shortbread too thin. Proper shortbread should be quite thick (no less than 3/4" or 2cm if making fingers). Tip: make sure your fingers are wide enough that a fork can prick them. Use a bench scraper or knife to cut the dough into fingers. Next, prick the shortbread with a fork, about half way through.
  • ROUND: You can also shape the dough into a ball, roll it out into a round, and score into triangles, then prick with a fork.
