My Mum use to make these shortbreads every Christmas and passed down the recipe to me. Now I have passed it down to my two daughters and they will continue to pass it down. It is no magical recipe it is right on the back of the Corn Starch package. But I am telling you they are mouth watering. I am about to be a baking machine for the next few hours as great for a Christmas gift in a pretty Christmas tin for friends, family or work mates. Hope you enjoy. Season's greetings.
