Recipe: Walnut shortbread

Made with walnut flour, these shortbread biscuits are lower in carbs than most shortbread, gluten free and totally delicious.

Ingredients:

• 1 cup walnut flour
• 60g butter, softened
• 1/4 cup (30g) icing sugar
• 1/2 teaspoon vanilla

Method:

1. Combine all ingredients in a bowl and work together until a dough has formed.
2. Roll into a ball, flatten slightly and wrap with a silicone baking sheet (which you can use in the oven later) or plastic wrap.
3. Refrigerate for 15-20 minutes – the cooler dough will be easier to work with. 
4. Dust the benchtop with flour and roll the dough out to around 5mm thick.
5. Use a cookie cutter to cut your dough into biscuit shapes and transfer to a baking tray. 
6. Bake at 180 degrees celsius for 10 minutes. Allow to cool slightly before removing from the tray and transferring to a rack to finish cooling.
