Ingredients

  • 4 oz unsalted butter 110g, 1 stick, brought to room temperature and cut into cubes
  • 2 oz sugar 55g, ¼ cup, suggest light brown and any relatively fine is good
  • 4 oz all purpose flour 110g, ½ cup, plain flour
  • 2 oz cornstarch 55g, ¼ cup cornflour
  • 6 teaspoon cranberry sauce approx, or other fruit jam

Instructions

    Cup of Yum
  1. Preheat oven to 350F/180C.
  2. Cream the butter and sugar - can use hand blender or a 'proper' mixer, both will work.
  3. Add flour and corn starch/cornflour and mix together but be careful not to overmix.
  4. Roll out mixture on a surface floured with a little corn starch to around ¼ inch/3-4mm thick. Don't worry that it will probably crack,just put to one side and add to leftovers after cutting.
  5. Cut into squares or rectangles around 1 ¼ - 1 ½ inch/3 - 4cm across. Press together the leftover pieces, roll out again and cut more squares/rectangles until all of the mixture is used up.
  6. Spoon a little jam on top of one square/rectangle - around ½ teaspoon for the suggested size - and put another square/rectangle on top and press edges together. It's easiest to do this by gently pressing with the side of a knife (see picture above).
  7. Place shortbread on a baking tray and bake for approx 10 minutes until lightly golden.
  8. Remove onto a cooling rack while still warm, or at least ensure loosened on tray. You can sprinkle with sugar while still warm if you like.
