Almond Shortbread Biscuit Recipe

Follow this simple 5-step almond biscuit recipe for the ultimate tasty treat.

Step 1

Preheat the oven to 170°C/Fan150°/325°F/Gas 3.

TOP TIP

These ground almond biscuits pair perfectly with a creamy dessert such as lemon posset.

Step 2

Beat the butter and almond extract in a mixing bowl until soft. Gradually beat in the Tate & Lyle Golden Caster Sugar.

TOP TIP

For a saltier snack, you may wish to add ¼ teaspoon of salt to this recipe.

Step 3

Add the ground almonds and semolina, then sift in the flour. Stir well, then work together with your hands to make a smooth dough.

TOP TIP

Be sure to handle the dough gently when you’re rolling it out to prevent it from stretching too much.

Step 4

Grease a shallow 28x18cm/11x7in oblong tin and press the shortbread dough into it, in an even layer. Pick all over with a fork and scatter over the flaked almonds.

TOP TIP

If you chill the biscuits for a short time before baking them, they should keep their shape a little better in the oven.

Step 5

Bake for 45 minutes until pale golden. With a sharp knife, mark into fingers and allow to cool in the tin. When cold, cut up your ground almond shortbread biscuits and serve dusted with the cinnamon and Tate & Lyle Icing Sugar.

TOP TIP

Why not get creative and top your almond shortbread biscuits with icing – orange icing would pair wonderfully well with them!
