INGREDIENTS:

150g/350lbs of flour (rather T55)

75g/170lbs of butter, cut into small pieces.

75g/170lbs caster sugar

An egg.

A pinch of salt

Any flavor you want: lemon, vanilla, cinnamon…etc

INSTRUCTIONS:

Step 1:

I mixed the flour carefully with the caster sugar, a pinch of salt, and my favorite flavor, I added the butter pieces by pressing and rubbing the palms of the hands against each other to make–sand.
(Note: the butter is not meant to be soft or too hard either!)

Step 2:

In this sandy mixture, easily I added the egg into.

Step 3:

I kneaded the dough to form a ball. I crushed the dough several times with the palm of my hand to mixed it.

Step 4:

I covered with a film of flour and let stand for about half-hour in a cold spot.

Step 5:

I set the temperature of the furnace to 200°C.

Step 6:

I put the dough on a floured surface, and I roll the dough out with a 1/2 cm thick rolling pin.

Step 7:

I cut the dough using a cookie cutter into small slices.

Step 8:

On a buttered baking sheet, I put the shortbread and I baked in the hot oven for about 10 minutes. when the color is golden blond, I removed the dish from the oven, and let the cookies cool for 15 minutes.

Uh, ENJOY!
