Guernsey shortbread

Very crumbly, melt-in-the-mouth shortbread with an intense buttery taste and a slightly grainy texture thanks to the rice flour. Cut into pieces and enjoy with a cup of tea.

Instructions

Preheat the oven to 160 °C and butter a round or square tin about 20 cm wide.
Cut the butter into pieces and work it with the sugar and salt until creamy.
Add both flours and rub in with your fingertips until the mixture looks like breadcrumbs.
Gently press the dough into the tin with the back of a spoon, packing it down evenly.
Prick the surface with a fork and mark out the portions with a knife without separating them.
Bake for 20 to 25 minutes, until the shortbread is just golden around the edges.
Sprinkle with sugar as soon as it comes out of the oven, then let it cool completely in the tin before cutting.
