  1. This shortbread is wonderfully short and crumbly so use a very sharp knife and don’t slice too thinly.

  2. The shortbread dough (up to the end of step 2) can be made up to 48 hours ahead and kept, well wrapped in cling film, in the fridge until ready to bake. The baked shortbread fingers will keep for 3-4 days in an airtight container.
