Show more commentsVery disappointed as I baked this recipe before reading the comments and as the above person has written, this recipe is ALL kinds of wrong and needs to be removed from this site. Using the quantities above, the biscuits completely melted as soon as they hit the oven wasting the ingredients and time spent making them! Try doubling the flour quantity and that'll be bang on.
I think the person who wrote this recipe got it ALL wrong! 9oz butter to only 1 cup of flour? I would have ended up with sweet melted butter had i not noticed how sticky the dough was. I would recommend doubling the flour and maybe half the sugar....but i will know more when they get out of the oven about the sugar. To save this batch i added in another cup of flour. There is no way this recipe would make shortbread with that amount of butter.
