Honey Shortbread

Good morning fellow readers. It's rather gray and overcast out but that doesn't stop me from wanting a bit o' honey.

And what better way to get a bit then in a piece of ginger-tinged honey shortbread?

I cut these into little squares which gives me more but you could bake this like regular shortbread, in a round then cut into wedges.

40z butter
6oz flour
1/2 - 1tsp ginger, based on preference
1oz honey

Rub or cut butter into flour. Add the ginger and honey. Mix with a spoon until you have a stiff dough.

Transfer to floured surface. Roll out and cut into squares or rounds, or shape into large round. Prick with a fork or create your own design.

Bake 350/180/mk 4 10 minutes or until golden.

The ginger in this makes for a very interesting flavour but feel free to alter based on your own preferences for ginger.
