A classic recipe brought to us by a classic home cook – Delia Smith. This is the recipe that I use as a starting point for most of my shortbread variations. It’s fair to say that this is probably the most popular of all our biscuits and cookies recipes.
These thins are from a recipe I found in the Guardian; devised by Tamal Ray, a Great British Bake Off alumnus. Quick to bake and best eaten on the day of making – they lose their snap pretty quickly.
