Serves

250g butter, softened but not melted
1½ cups cornflour
½ cup rice flour
¾ cup Chelsea Icing Sugar
1 tsp lemon rind, grated
Preheat oven to 150°C (130°C fan forced).
Mix all ingredients in a food processor until smooth and well combined.
Roll dough on a cornflour dusted surface to a 1cm thickness. Cut into fingers or press out shapes using cookie cutters.
Place on a baking tray lined with baking paper and prick with a fork. Bake for 25-30 minutes until pale but crisp (longer, slower baking is the trick with shortbread).
Cool on a wire rack and store in an airtight container.
This shortbread mixture was very soft and felt like too much butter to dry ingredients. Very hard to work with and sure enough, the biscuits spread all over the tray while cooking and didn't keep their shape.
These are truly beautiful and really do melt in your mouth. I took a plate to a pot luck recently and they were a hit!!
