Old School Thick Shortbread

Name: Old School Thick Shortbread
Yield: 8 servings
Ingredients: 150 g Butter; 100 g Caster sugar; 180 g Plain flour; 55 g Rice flour; 1/4 tsp Baking powder; 1 pinch Salt

It’s hard to bate a big thick wedge of shortbread at Christmas. This stuff is nice and thick, a bit like stuff you get in the old school tins. My Granda’s a bit of a connoisseur when it comes to shortbread and he hoovered it up, so you know it’s good. It's buttery and just melts in the mouth, just how you want it.
