Perfect Sweet™ Gluten Free Shortbread

This delicious shortbread can be made with red rice flour, which I think has a more interesting flavour and colour. Chinese chefs use red rice flour in their sweet dishes and it is available in health food stores and Chinese grocery stores.

Ingredients
150 g rice flour
50 g ground rice
50 g Perfect Sweet™
150 g butter

Method
Mix rice flour, ground rice, and Perfect Sweet™ in a mixing bowl.

Add butter; knead into dry ingredients until mixture is combined into a smooth, stiff dough.

Dust worktop with a little ground rice and roll out dough into an oblong 1 cm thick. Cut into 8 cm x 2 cm fingers or use cookie cutter shapes.

Place dough on a lined baking tray, prick well, and rest in refrigerator for 30 minutes.

Bake for 15 -20 minutes at 180 degrees.

Makes 20 shortbread fingers.


Optional
Use red rice flour instead of rice flour
