Plain flour (150 grams)
Butter not margarine(100 grams)
Icing sugar (50 grams)
Powdered milk(1/2 cup or more depending on how rich you want it to be)
Preparation:
Mix the butter and icing sugar together until creamy. Note not too much icing sugar, be careful of your measurement.
Sieve the plain flour + powdered milk into the bowl and mix thoroughly until well incorporated.
Form a ball with the dough and leave to rest in the fridge or in a cool place for 30mins
Preheat the oven at 170C/325F for about 5mins
Then place the dough on a table and roll it out to 3/4 inch thick width, then cut into 2cm by 10cm shortbread fingers or shape and gently transfer unto a baking tray.
Using a toothpick make indents on the shortbread fingers.
And finally place the tray into the preheated oven and bake at 170C/325F for 10 to 12mins or until firm, but not brown.
Note: more milk makes it more richer.
