Note
Additional Notes
Shortbread firms as it cools. Do not overbake; the colour should stay pale. The edges will crisp as they rest.
Optional substitutions & variations
- Replace vanilla with lemon zest for a bright finish.
- Add a pinch of cinnamon for extra warmth.
- Swap caster sugar for light brown sugar for a deeper taste.
- Dip the ends in dark chocolate for a richer treat.

Tips & Variations
Keep the dough cool
Warm dough can spread too much. If the butter softens too far, chill the tray for 10 minutes before baking. This helps the fingers hold a clean shape.
Add gentle flavours
Spelt already brings a soft note. A small amount of citrus zest, spice, or even lavender can lift the biscuits without overpowering the buttery base.
