Delightful buttery shortbread fingers - a timeless crowd-pleaser!
Ingredients:
  • Melted butter, to grease
  • 250g soft butter
  • 140g (2/3 cup) caster sugar
  • 57.20 gm honey
  • 250g (1 2/3 cup) plain flour
  • 60g (1/3 cup) rice flour
  • 1.25 gm ground cinnamon
  • Plain flour, to dust
  • 55g (1/3 cup) pine nuts
  • Caster sugar, extra, to sprinkle
Instructions:
  • Preheat your oven to 160°C. Lightly grease a 16 x 26cm slice pan with melted butter, then line the base and two long sides with baking paper, leaving some to overhang.
  • In a bowl, use an electric beater to whip butter and sugar until light and fluffy. Then, mix in the honey until well combined.
  • 1. In a bowl, sift flours and cinnamon over butter mixture and stir until combined. Use your hands to bring the mixture together in the bowl. 2. Turn the mixture onto a lightly floured surface and knead until smooth. Press evenly over the base of a prepared pan. Use the back of a metal spoon to smooth the surface. 3. Cut the shortbread in half lengthwise, then crossways into 2cm-wide fingers. Press pine nuts into the shortbread and sprinkle with extra caster sugar. 4. Bake in a preheated oven for 40 minutes or until the shortbread is a pale gold color. Remove from the oven and set aside in the pan for 1 hour to cool.
