Ingredients
  

  • 180 g Plain Flour

  • Mix the flour and icing sugar in a bowl.
  • Rub the butter into the flour and sugar until it starts to form together in a dough.
  • Wrap the dough in clingfilm and place in the fridge to rest for 30-60 minutes. Pre-heat the oven to 170 degrees C (150 degrees C for fan ovens).
  • Roll the dough out to approximately 1 1/2 cm thick.
  • Using a knife, cut the shortbread into 9-12 small rectangles.
  • Place the shortbread onto a baking tray lined with baking paper.
  • Brush the top of the shortbread with a small amount of milk.
  • Add flaked almonds to the top of the shortbread (you may need to press these down a little).

  • Remove from the oven and allow to cool on a wire tray for approximately 30 minutes.
