A neighbour of my mother-in-law gave the recipe to me in 1960 and it was over 150 years old then.
This tastes exactly like your Grandma and her mother’s shortbread used to taste.
Enjoy!
Ingredients
Method
I have sent the recipe in but forgot to add that the recipe calls for creaming the sugar and butter by hand. As I have arthritis in my hands now, I use the K beater of my Kenwood Chef. DO NOT use whisk beaters. I do double batches at a time and reap about 9 dozen shortbreads out of the double mix. I use 3 trays. I made 72 dozen this Christmas period, and gave nearly all of them away. I only make them at Christmas because they are so well liked and do not last. Keep them in an air tight container.
Thank you to Sylvia for sending this in!
