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. Make this recipe with your children using Christmas shape cutters and Christmas decorations. A batch can make 2 lovely gifts wrapped in cellophane on a disposable Christmas plate for the school teachers or friends and relations
