Directions
Tip
This recipe was on the back of the HAS NO Aldi flour which I have just thermified. They are delicious and hard to believe they are gluten free. I would imagine any gluten free flour brand would give the same result. Devoured by those at husbands work place. Recipe suitable for TM31. I did try reducing the sugar on my second batch and they were lighter and crumblier. I prefer recipe as is - but see what you prefer and experiement. You can follow me on Facebook at 'Mixin' it Gluten Free - Happy Cooking!

Recipe is created forTM 5
If you are using a Thermomix® TM6 measuring cup with your Thermomix® TM5:
For cooking (simmering) at temperatures of 95°C or above (200°F), the simmering basket should always be used instead of the TM6 measuring cup, as the TM6 measuring cup fits tightly in the lid. The simmering basket rests loosely on top, is steam-permeable, and also prevents food spatter from the mixing bowl.Please note that the TM5 mixing bowl has a larger capacity than the TM31 (capacity of 2.2 liters instead of 2.0 liters for TM 31). Recipes for the Thermomix TM5 may not be cooked with a Thermomix TM31 for safety reasons without adjusting the quantities. Risk of scalding by spraying of hot liquids: Do not exceed the maximum filling quantity and observe the filling level markings of the mixing bowl!

A good recipe, I added another egg as one wasn't enough< I used the mixture for making short bread pastry for an apple pie and mince pie, it was great.
Thanks
MaggieT: Hi Maggie, thank you for your lovely comments. So glad you have found a recipe for you and your son. We love them so much too and are a regular for our bikkie tin!
These biscuits are just devine. I have tried to cook gluten free shortbread biscuits for years and the recipes I have used have always failed. My oven is fan forced and I cooked at 150 degrees for 18 mins.
I will cook these regularly for my son and I who are Coeliac. Thanks for the recipe.
