Oaty Shortbread

These shortbreads are not too sweet, crumbly and very more-ish! You get a really good amount with the recipe below, and they store well in a biscuit tin (and freeze well too). They are also incredibly quick and easy to make with a food processor.

Ingredients:

10 oz (275) oats
4 oz (100g) plain flour
5 oz (150g) caster sugar
1/2 teaspoon bicarbonate of soda
Good pinch of salt
8 oz (225g) butter

Recipe:

Preheat the oven to 180 C (350 F, Gas Mark 4)

Put the oats in a food processor and give them a quick blitz to make them quite fine. Add all the ingredients and pulse together until a dough is formed.

Turn out onto a floured surface and roll out until about 1/4 inch thick. If you like, the kids can use a cookie cutter to cut out some shapes, but we preferred to use a knife for speed and cut out squares! Place onto baking trays (you don't need to grease or line them) and bake for 15-20 minutes until golden. Remove to a wire rack to cool.

Pile a few of these shortbreads into a pretty tin, tie with a ribbon, and you have a super gift!
