Ingredients

  • Softened butter, measuring one cup,
  • Brown sugar, also one cup fills up,
  • Two cups of rye flour, grainy and fine,
  • Half a cup of corn flour to combine,
  • A teaspoon of colored sugar, sprinkle with care.

Step 1

Begin by preheating your oven to a cozy 300 degrees F (150 degrees C) and get your 2 8-inch cake pans ready by lining them with parchment paper.

Step 2

In a mixing bowl, combine the butter and sugar, using a wooden spoon to blend them until the mixture transforms into a soft, creamy delight. Next, gently fold in the rye and corn flours, then divide the dough into 2 portions. Press these portions evenly into the prepared cake pans, and using a fork, create delicate rows of shallow holes on the surface of each cake. For an extra touch of sweetness and color, consider sprinkling some colored sugar on top.

Step 3

Slide your cakes into the preheated oven and allow them to bake until the tops are a beautiful golden hue and the edges sport a slightly deeper shade of brown, typically around 45 minutes to an hour.

Step 4

Once out of the oven, while the shortbread is still warm, slice each cake into 8 wedges. Let them cool completely before storing them in an airtight cookie tin or a container lined with parchment or waxed paper for lasting freshness.

Extra Tips & Suggestions

  1. 1. Keep your wheat-free Irish shortbread fresh and crispy by storing it in an airtight container. This will help prevent moisture from seeping in and altering the texture of your delicious treat.
  2. 2. If you want to add a touch of elegance to your storage method, consider wrapping the shortbread in parchment paper before placing it in the container. This not only keeps it fresh but also adds a charming presentation for when you're ready to indulge.
