Valentines shortbread

Valentines day is amongst us (#foreveralone) and so I thought I'd throw out a little themed recipe for you to try out, perhaps with someone special.The recipe is fool proof and a nice way to have fun and eat something yummy at the end. I mixed things up with a little try at a 'Jamie dodger' style biscuit sandwiches although the original plain biscuit was just as delish. 

Hopefully the pictures are useful in showing you what I did at each step. Here's the full simplified recipe:
 
Ingredient

• 150 grams plain flour

• 100 grams margarine

• 50 grams caster sugar

Method

1. Preheat oven 160C, Gas mark 6. 
2. Cream together the butter and sugar in a bowl. Gradually mix in the flour. Using your hands knead the mix together into a smooth ball 
3. Roll out to about 1/2 cm thick. Cut out your shapes and place on baking tray.
4. Bake for 10-15min. Sprinkle with a little sugar while they cool

Happy V day! ♥
