I regularly make these delicious Shortbread Biscuits. They are really easy to make and are very much appreciated by my French neighbours.
They are really my version of Scottish Shortbread and are best eaten as soon as they have cooled although they do keep well in an airtight tin.
I understand that they are also delicious coated with chocolate, but I rarely do that!!!!! Well, maybe sometimes!
On this recipe you should use either imperial OR metric measurements. They make slightly different amounts
