Scotish Shortbread

Cookies 

• Cooking Time: 12
• Servings: 20
• Preparation Time: 10
• 2 cups plain flour
• 1/3 cup icing sugar
• 1/4 cup rice flour
• 100 g soft butter
• 100 g Ghee (clarified butter)
• 1/3 cup macadamia (or other nuts), broken into small pieces
• a bit of vanilla extract (or lemon zest)

Preheat oven to 150-160*C.

Make a smooth dough out of all ingredients (use food processor or knead by hand).

Take out shapes (dough is very brittle!), or press the dough into a tin, cut it and prick with fork (see picture on:

Bake 10-12 minutes - shortbread needs to stay pale.

For best results use best ingredients.

Keep in a cool and dry place for a month.

I have tried many recipes for Scotish Shortbread. I also experimented with ingredients by my own; I wanted to archieve that authentic 'buttery' smell and taste. This is what I came up with.
