I’ve made shortbread a few times now and I definitely won’t forget the chocolate swirl shortbread, recipe here https://ablovesfood.wordpress.com/2016/06/15/chocolate-swirl-shortbread/?preview=true However this recipe has poppyseeds which have their own distinct flavour and adds more texture when you take a bite. I love making shortbread because it’s such a simple quick recipe and it tastes amazing.

Makes 15
Ingredients 175g butter (at room temp) 75g caster sugar 250g plain flour 30g poppyseeds
Method
1. Preheat the oven to gas mark 3 and line a baking tray with parchment paper.
2. Then cream the butter and sugar together until pale before adding the poppyseeds.
3. Next add the flour and knead everything together to form a smooth dough. Now the dough can be rolled out to 1cm thick.
4. Place onto the tray carefully and poke holes throughout the slab using a fork. Bake in the oven for 30 minutes until slightly golden then sprinkle with icing sugar!!
Happy Baking 🙂



For extra flavour try adding:
Raisins
Cocoa powder
Orange zest
Ground ginger
Chocolate chips
This looks delicious!
