You might be putting Walker's out of business Geoff... those look like a winner! If I get my chores done in time I may have to go out to fetch some semolina and make a batch of this scrummy shortbread. Thank you.

[@geoffsbakingblog]

Hi Julie-joy. I do like Walker shortbread, as long as it is 'all butter'. This recipe can be made with ground rice instead of semolina too.

[@julie-joywilliams7280]

@@geoffsbakingblog Yes I to am on the all butter train! Oh yes I do remember you said you can use ground rice. would you grind the rice in a little blender or buy the rice type flour? one would be course and the other more fine.

[@geoffsbakingblog]

@@julie-joywilliams7280 In the UK we can buy ground rice. It is a coarser version of rice flour. The texture is gritty/grainy as opposed to smooth like rice flour. You could make your own by grinding down some rice. Ground rice can also be used to make a smooth version of rice pudding - Stir 100g of ground rice and 1.2 litres of semi-skimmed milk together in a medium sized non-stick saucepan over a medium heat and bring to the boil, stirring continuously. Reduce the heat to low and gently simmer for 10 minutes, stirring regularly. Stir in 25g of caster sugar and serve immediately.

Thanks for the video. Shortbread this good will only last a short time and then, all gone. 😀

[@Marshmish]

Thats one of my favourites Geoff. I bet you had a nice cup of tea with that first sneaky slice!! Thanks mate.

[@geoffsbakingblog]

Hi Marshall. I did indeed. But then I have a cup of tea with absolutely everything, and sometimes with nothing at all.

I love ginger!

[@geoffsbakingblog]

Hi Mary. I am a big fan too.

[@sirbarneythethirdbobbyandme]

We might make that soon uncle Geoff to give the palate a refreshing break from our bedtime milk and digestives ... ..a very warming buttery crunch we can imagine

[@geoffsbakingblog]

Hi Hugh & Sir Barney. They are very nice. Personally I haven't drunk a glass of milk since my school days when we used to have a 1/3 pint in a little bottle every day.

[@sirbarneythethirdbobbyandme]

@@geoffsbakingblog I do love a chocolate milkshake without the ice cream ....it was my birthday yesterday Uncle Geoff, pleasant meal out , Uncle Percival and Sir Barney enjoyed the food and Roulade fruit fresh cream cake ..

Those look tasty!

Hi Timothy. Thanks very much. They were very good, but I don't have any left now, as I shared them with family.

Looks delicious Geoff! Thanks for another delectable recipe!

[@geoffsbakingblog]

Hi Susannah. Thanks very much.

[@delilahboa]

Hi Geoff, another brilliant tutorial, thanks so much……I’m in the UK same as you, I tend to always use Lurpak butter no matter what I make, do you recommend a certain brand or do you have a favourite? I fancy experimenting with butter brands and this recipe would be ideal as a starting point for that…..thanks again, love Jan xxxxx

[@geoffsbakingblog]

HI Jan. Thanks very much. These days I tend to use 'own brand' unsalted butter. When I could buy President for £2 for 250g that was what I used. But since the prices have gone up so much(£2.70 for President) I find the 'own brand' which can still be bought for about £2 works very well. Certainly in baking there is no discernible difference. Lurpak has gone up too, though not as much as President it seems.

[@delilahboa]

Hi Geoff, that’s great advice, thanks so much, I’ve been buying Lurpak when it’s on offer which helps, but I’ll definitely get own brand next week and try it…..thanks again Jan xxxx

[@denisv9657]

Dear Geoff, can i replace regular butter with coconut butter ?

[@geoffsbakingblog]

Hi Dennis. I don't know the answer to that since I have never used coconut butter. But I think coconut butter will work fine, though the flavour will be different, of course.

[@denisv9657]

@@geoffsbakingblog point noted, probably will go half n half to keep it savory 😋
