This basic shortbread recipe is a great one to have in your cooking files. It’s really simple and many of you would have the ingredients on hand so you can generally make them on a whim. They are one of my husband’s favourite biscuits and the children love them in their lunch boxes so I make them quite often. Go ahead and make a batch today.
