A touch of rice flour is the secret to perfectly crisp shortbread. With such a short ingredient list, it's important to use the best-quality salted butter you can find.

Yield Makes one 8-inch round

Number Of Ingredients 5

Vegetable-oil cooking spray, for mold
3/4 cup (1 1/2 sticks) salted butter, room temperature
3/4 superfine sugar
1 3/4 cups unbleached all-purpose flour
1/4 cup rice flour

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 300 degrees. Coat an 8-inch ceramic shortbread mold with cooking spray; set aside.
  • In the bowl of an electric mixer fitted with the paddle attachment, beat together butter and sugar until well combined. Add flours and mix until just combined and a shaggy dough forms.
  • Firmly press dough into mold in an even layer. Bake until edges just begin to turn golden, about 1 hour, 15 minutes. Remove from oven; turn oven off. Let shortbread cool in mold 10 minutes.
  • Invert a parchment-lined baking sheet onto back of mold. Carefully re-invert, turning mold onto sheet; lift off mold. Using a sharp knife, cut shortbread into wedges. Separate wedges, then return sheet to oven until shortbread is dry, at least 1 hour. Let cool completely.

This shortbread is the best I've ever had! It's so buttery and crumbly, and it melts in your mouth. I used a cookie cutter to cut out shapes, and they came out so cute. I'm definitely going to make this again and again.
