Preheat the oven to 180C/350F/Gas 4 (I have a fan oven so I set mine at 150C). Brush two baking sheets (or a circular cake tin with a push out base) with a little oil.
Put the flour, cornflour and sugar in a bowl. Cut the butter into pieces and rub into the flour until the mixture resembles fine breadcrumbs. Mould to a dough with your hands.
Either, roll out dough on a floured surface to a 5mm thickness or press dough into greased cake tin using the back of a tablespoon and use the back of a fork to decorate around the edges and stab with the fork several times in the centre. If you have rolled out the dough, stamp out shapes with small biscuit cutters.
Transfer to the baking sheets or put the cake tin in the oven. Cook the biscuit shapes for 10-12 mins. Cook the one in the cake tin for about 20 mins. Once the biscuit shapes are cooked, transfer them to a wire rack to cool. Once the shortbread in the cake tin is cooked cut it into eight even pieces before it cools, then allow to cool.

Thanks for putting your recipe up on the blog Mrs Madden, I’ll definitely be giving this one a go!
Thanks Mrs Madden! I will try it this week.
Mrs Madden,
We made your shortbread but in different shapes. We made small and large unicorns, rainbows and star. We coated the second batch in chocolate. Me, mummy and Caspian are trying out all your recipes.
It is really thoughtful of you to put your recipes on the blog so people can make them if they have enough ingredients.
