Ingredients

2 cup (300 grams) plain flour

2 tablespoon rice flour

1/3 cup (75 grams) brown sugar

250 gram butter, cubed

1/2 cup (60 grams) chopped pecans

Method

1.Preheat oven to 160°C. Line 2 baking trays with baking paper. Sift plain and rice flours together into a bowl. Stir in sugar.

2.Using fingertips, rub in butter until mixture resembles breadcrumbs. Press together to form a dough.

3.Turn out onto a lightly floured surface. Knead pecans gently into mixture. Place dough between 2 sheets of baking paper, or on a lightly floured surface, and roll out to about 7mm thick.

4.Cut shapes with a fluted cutter (6cm). Place on trays. Bake 10-15 minutes, until golden. Stand 5 minutes before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely. Store in an airtight container.

If desired, sprinkle these shortbread shapes with caster or demerara sugar before baking.
