Inspired by the beloved corgis belonging to The Queen, these delicious shortbread biscuits are dipped in yummy milk chocolate and decorated with the Renshaw ready to roll icing.
Shortbread
Ingredients125g butter or margarine 55g caster sugar 180g plain flour – sieved |
MethodHeat the oven to 190°C/375°F/gas mark 5. Cream together the butter or margarine and caster sugar until smooth then gradually stir in the flour to form a smooth paste. Wrap the shortbread in cling film and leave to rest in the fridge for 30 minutes. Roll out the shortbread to 1cm thickness on a work surface lightly dusted with flour. Using a shaped cutter or shaped template, cut out the corgi and place on a baking tray. Bake for 15 to 20 minutes until pale-golden brown. Remove from the oven and leave to cool on a cooling rack for 30 minutes. |
