Ingredients:
3 cups all-purpose flour
½ cup superfine sugar
2 teaspoons cinnamon
½ teaspoon powdered
½ teaspoon powdered ginger
¾ teaspoon allspice
½ teaspoon salt
1 cup butter at room temperature
Directions:
Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Combine sugar, spices, and salt evenly. Separate into 2 equal portions, reserving one. On a clean surface, mix gently, by hand, one-half the spice mix in the flour. Squeeze butter in hands, and bit by bit add spiced flour by working it into butter on the board. Take time to thoroughly integrate dry and butter mixture. Press batter into 8" square, shallow pan. Score the surface of the batter to make "fingers" (2 inches by 1 inch) of shortbread.
Also make several shallow fork pricks on each "finger". With reserved spice mixture, evenly strew all cuts. Bake 1 hour or less until firm and yellow, not brown. Cool in pan; break and serve. This keeps well if stored in an airtight tin or tightly wrapped in tinfoil. |
