This recipe comes from a kiwi friend who insists this is authentic New Zealand shortbread.


Ingredients (makes 30 -50 biscuits)

  • 250 grams Butter, softened
  • 140 grams Pure icing sugar
  • 140 grams Cornflour
  • 280 grams Plain flour

Method

  1. Line baking trays and chill in the fridge.
  2. Cream butter and icing sugar. Sift the flours together. Mix flours into butter mixture - do not over mix.
  3. Roll into logs, about 4-5cm diameter. Wrap in cling wrap and chill in fridge for 30 minutes. Preheat oven to 160 degrees.
  4. Slice 5mm slices from the logs and place on cold baking trays. Prick with a fork. Bake for 15-20 minutes until firm but still pale.

Notes

Authentic shortbread has no colour. This shortbread can also be rolled out. Number of biscuits will depend on the thickness of your cuts.

  • Haha, wondered what Kiwi shortbread was at first and immediately thought of kiwi fruit in it. Sounds lovely though.

  • Glad I found this again! I made it when it was first posted and forgot to print the recipe. My Kiwi hubby says it’s very similar to what his Mum used to make!
