210g plain flour
2 tbsp sugar
100g unsalted butter
granulated sugar to decorate

Currant Shortbread Preparation:


Method:

Add the currants and 4 tbsp orange juice to a small saucepan. Bring to a boil and immediately take off the heat. Set aside to cool and to allow the currants to plump up.

Combine the flour and sugar in a bowl then add the sugar and rub in with your fingertips until thoroughly combined. Add the currant mixture and stir-in to combine thoroughly along with the remaining 1 tbsp orange juice. Knead until the dough comes together then turn onto a lightly-floured work surface and roll into a rectangle about 25 x 30cm in size. Trim the edges and square-off the corners then prick over the entire surface with a fork.

Sprinkle the granulated sugar over the top then transfer to a lightly-greased baking tray and cut into 24 squares then transfer to an oven pre-heated to 180°C. Bake for about 20 minutes, or until pale golden all over. Remove from the oven, recut the squares then allow to cool for 10 minutes before transferring onto a wire rack.

Store in an air-tight container to keep the shortbread crisp.
