Servings: 12 Shortbread Biscuits
Calories: 185kcal
Ingredients
- 250 g plain flour
- 150 g butter room temperature
- 60 g caster sugar plus extra for sprinkling
Instructions
- Grease a 20cm by 20cm baking tin (or tin that will fit your air fryer), or line it with parchment paper.
- Add the butter and sugar to a mixing bowl and cream them together with a wooden spoon or electric mixer.
- Sift the flour into the bowl and mix it all together.
- Use your hands to combine the dough until a soft dough has formed.
- Preheat the air fryer to 160°C and transfer the shortbread to the greased tin, spreading it out to reach all corners. Press the shortbread down with the back of a spoon so that the surface is level and flat.
- Use a fork to make some holes across the surface of the shortbread.
- Put the shortbread into the air fryer basket and air fry for 12 minutes. Check on it at 10 minutes to make sure it isn’t turning too brown; it is ready when it just starts to turn golden. The shortbread might feel slightly stodgy and uncooked to the touch, but it will harden up some more as it cools down.
- Carefully remove the shortbread from the air fryer basket, leaving it in the tin to cool down.
- You can gently score through the shortbread to slice it as it cools down.
- Optionally sprinkle with a little extra caster sugar before serving.
Notes
I used a 20cm x 20cm baking tin to cook the shortbread in a 6.4L Cosori Air Fryer. You can use any baking tin that will fit your air fryer, just remember to keep an eye on it as it cooks, If the shortbread is rolled out thinner it will take less time to cook.
