Almond Shortbread Biscuit Recipe
Follow this simple 5-step almond biscuit recipe for the ultimate tasty treat.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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!
