Light in Flavour

When you want a delicate sweetness in your baking, using White Sugar or Caster Sugar can provide a subtle sweetness that enhances the other flavours without overpowering them.

Fruity

Using fruit can add a natural, fruity sweetness to baking, creating a refreshing, light flavour or adding sweet tartness. White Sugar or Caster Sugar in baking, allows the flavour of the fruit to shine and Jam Setting Sugar preserves the taste of fruit in vibrant jams.

Nutty

Coconut Sugar bring a subtle nuttiness to baked goods, elevating the taste with a mild, natural sweetness and pairs beautifully with tropical flavours.

Spiced

Using sugars with spices like cinnamon, ginger, licorice or chai can lend a warm, aromatic sweetness to baking.

Caramel

Utilising brown sugars or incorporating caramelised sugar syrups creates a richer, deeper flavor profile, adding a hint of caramel or toffee-like taste.

Chocolate

Chocolate adds a decadent richness to baked goods with its deep cocoa flavour, making it perfect for indulgent treats. Try adding a deep flavoured Brown Sugar to the mix for enhanced chocolate flavour.

Method
Preheat oven to 180°C bake. Line two large oven trays with baking paper.
Cream Tararua Butter and Chelsea Icing Sugar together until pale and fluffy. Mix in Edmonds Standard Grade Flour and Edmonds Fielder's Cornflour, then knead to bring together into a dough. The dough should be firm enough to roll out immediately. If not, refrigerate for 30 minutes to firm up a little.
Roll into a sausage shape and cut slices. Alternatively, roll out between two pieces of baking paper to 5mm thick, then remove top layer of baking paper and use cookie cutters to cut dough into shapes.
Place on prepared trays and prick with a fork once or twice. Bake for 5 minutes, until just spreading and rising. Turn oven down to 150°C bake and bake for a further 10 minutes, until shortbread is pale golden.
Remove from oven and allow to cool for 5-10 minutes before transferring to a cooling rack to cool completely.
Variations: - Chocolate: half dip the baked shortbread in melted chocolate and leave to set on baking paper, OR add half a cup of chocolate chips to dough.
- Cranberry orange: add half a cup of orange juice soaked cranberries to dough.
- LSA: add 2 Tbsp LSA (linseed, sunflower and almond meal) soaked in 1 Tbsp of water (gives a nutty taste).
Shortbread dough freezes well in an airtight container.
