Wholemeal Shortbread

Source: Great New Zealand Baking Book

With an oatbran component, this has a nutty taste, and plenty of healthy fibre. The family refer to it as "sawdust shortbread", but it goes just as fast as the regular sort and is excellent for dunking, soaking up quite a bit more tea than most, with decent structural integrity.

I've never had a failure using this recipe book. It's out on it's own. It takes the Edmonds book a step beyond. What more can a guy say?

Quantity Ingredient
275g Butter
1/2 cup Firmly Packed Soft Brown Sugar
1 teaspoon Salt
1 cup Plain White Flour
1/2 cup Oat Bran
1.5 cups Wholemeal Flour
  1. Cream butter and sugar.
  2. Add the flours, salt and oat bran, and work into the butter.
  3. Turn out onto as floured board and bring together. Knead lightly.
  4. Roll out to 1 - 1½ cm thickness and cut into bars. Place on a greased baking tray.
  5. Bake at 180° C ( 350°F) (Gas Mark 4) for 25 minutes or until firm to the touch and lightly browned.
  6. Cool on the tray for ten minutes before transferring to a cake rack to cool.
  7. Store in a locked airtight container.
