Joe's shortbread nuggets

1 batch

Ingredients

Quantity Ingredient
3 ounces Butter
1 ounce Cornflour
1 ounce Icing sugar
4 ounces Plain flour; white or whole meal
Vanilla
pinch Salt
Walnuts (optional)

Directions

Preheat the oven to 350F. Melt the butter in a saucepan, sift the dry ingredients into the butter, add a few drops of vanilla and cook over a low heat, stirring well until the mixture leaves the sides of the pan and forms a ball. If it seems too soft add a bit more flour.

Form with wet hands into walnut-sized nuggets and place on an ungreased baking sheet, about 2 inches apart. Bake until they are a light gold color on top (about 8-10 minutes). Cool on a rack. A walnut can be pressed onto the top of each nugget before baking if you like.
