Notes
1. Rice flour – Gives the base the traditional crumbly shortbread texture. Cornflour / cornstarch is also used which gives it a slightly more “melt in your mouth” texture. Both are delicious!
2. Base making – If you don’t have a food processor, you can use your fingers to “rub” the butter into the dry ingredients and you’ll end up with the same crumbs that you see in the photos.
3. Storage – Once chilled and set, it can be kept at room temperature if it’s fairly cool in your pantry. Otherwise, keep it in your fridge but bring to room temp before serving! Lasts 5 days.
4. Nutrition per serving i.e. 1 slice of the 16 bars this recipe makes.
