Seeing the soft, melt-in-the-mouth texture of shortbread biscuits, many people tend to think that it contains eggs. But, actually it does not. Plain flour, sugar and butter are all that you need to make incredible Rich Shortbread Biscuits.


The crumbly texture and pleasant light colour of these eggless butter biscuits come from the generous use of butter. Since the dough will be a little soft, you must refrigerate it before cutting; otherwise it will be difficult to handle.


Serve with hot Elaichi Tea or coffee along with other evening tea snacks .

Flatten the dough & bake as a sheet. Then cut it up. It saves time & still turns out crisp & yummy! Thanks for the recipe!
