Joe's shortbread nuggets
1 batch
Ingredients
| Quantity | Ingredient | |
|---|---|---|
| 3 | ounces | Butter |
| 1 | ounce | Cornflour |
| 1 | ounce | Icing sugar |
| 4 | ounces | Plain flour; white or whole meal |
| Vanilla | ||
| pinch | Salt | |
| Walnuts (optional) | ||
Directions
Preheat the oven to 350F. Melt the butter in a saucepan, sift the dry ingredients into the butter, add a few drops of vanilla and cook over a low heat, stirring well until the mixture leaves the sides of the pan and forms a ball. If it seems too soft add a bit more flour.
Form with wet hands into walnut-sized nuggets and place on an ungreased baking sheet, about 2 inches apart. Bake until they are a light gold color on top (about 8-10 minutes). Cool on a rack. A walnut can be pressed onto the top of each nugget before baking if you like.
