    This mixture is exactly as my grandmother (Scottish) and mother made it. Turned out beautifully.

    The only difference was that in our house, we had to cook the shortbread in a whole round. We weren't allowed to cut the shortbread - had to break it (maybe an old Christian tradition).

    I made 2 whole rounds pressed into 2 x 8" tins (uncut but marked decoratively with a fork). They took 20 mins to cook perfectly. I turned the remainder into a roll and cut individual shortbreads. The individual shortbreads, cooked on a flat tray, were cooked in 12 mins. (160C Fan Forced)

    Thank you thermie and Lyn.
