Gluten Free Irish Nut Shortbread Recipes

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).
• Place almond flour, brown rice flour, sorghum flour, sugar, cinnamon, allspice, cardamom, ginger, and salt together in a large resealable bag; seal and shake well to combine.
• Mix butter and flour mixture together in a large bowl with an electric mixer until well combined.
• Roll dough into walnut-size balls and place 2 inches apart onto ungreased baking sheets; flatten balls slightly.
• Bake in the preheated oven until edges are golden brown, about 27 minutes. Cool in the pan for 5 minutes before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely.

Steps:

• Line a 20 x 20cm cake tin with baking parchment. Blitz the flour, butter, half the icing sugar and the lemon zest together in a food processor until the mixture looks sandy. Add half the lemon juice and blitz again until the dough starts to clump together. At this stage, the dough will keep wrapped and frozen for up to two months. Heat the oven to 170C/150C fan/gas 3.
• Press half the dough into the base of the tin using your fingertips, ensuring it's in an even layer. Spread the curd over the dough, leaving a ½cm border of around the edge.
• Roll the remaining dough into cherry tomato-sized balls, then press these into flat discs using your fingers. Arrange the dough discs over the layer of curd in a random patchwork pattern until completely covered. Bake for 35 mins until the shortbread is pale and lightly golden at the edges. Leave to cool completely in the tin.
• Mix the remaining icing sugar with enough of the remaining lemon juice to make a pourable icing. Drizzle this over the cooled shortbread and leave to set, then cut into 16 squares. Will keep in an airtight container for three days.

Steps:

• Sift nut flours together in a medium-large bowl. 2.Add butter and honey. Mix with hands until soft dough forms. If you feel that it's still too wet just add a little more chestnut flour. Refrigerate one hour. 3.Preheat oven to 150 C / Gas 2. Cover a baking tray with greased baking parchment. Shape dough into 2.5cm balls. Place about 5cm apart on greased parchment, then flatten with lightly floured fork. Bake for 20-25 minutes or until edges are lightly browned.
