It's hands-on or in time now: bring the mix to a soft, pliable, crack-free dough by kneading it as lightly as possible. Using a rolling pin, roll out to a 5mm thickness. Remove the top paper and cut out biscuits using a 6—7cm fluted cutter or a shaped biscuit cutter heart, star, leaf, etc. For a shortbread round, lightly press the dough into the loose-based 20cm flan tin or sandwich tin, or shape into a round, about 2cm thick, by hand.

To finish the edge, pinch into little flutes with your thumb and finger. Prick the surface with a fork. Bake the shortbread in the oven until very lightly coloured; allow about 20 minutes for biscuits, 30—35 minutes for a shortbread round. Dredge with sugar and place on a wire rack to cool. Shortbread will keep for up to 4 weeks in an airtight tin.
