Anyone that knows me will know how obsessed I am with elderflower cordial. For that reason I thought it was about time I started incorporating it into my baking. I found a lovely recipe on Wallflower Girl's blog and decided to give it a go. It was originally going to be a white chocolate and elderflower combination but there was a lonely lemon that I thought would make these even more of a springtime treat. I managed 2 cake tins worth of shortbread, which equated to 16 slices. To make elderflower and white chocolate shortbread you will need: 250g butter 100g caster sugar 2 tbsp elderflower cordial 1/2 tsp vanilla extract The rind of 1 lemon 300g plain flour 100g chopped white chocolate Preheat your oven to 180C and prepare your baking tins. I went for 2 silicon cake tins to get the classic shortbread eighths but you're welcome to go for a square tin and create fingers...cut out rounds...whatever you fancy! You'll just need to increase the cooking time ...
