It is quite unusual to add water to this type of biscuit but in this recipe, it helps to achieve that delicious buttery crunch of shortbread.

Need a lot more flour than is stated.... The water is not necessary. Overall a complete waste of time just use bero recipe and add xanthine gum....
Many thanks for your feedback. Having baked this recipe again, we found adding water gave the best results. With standard shortbread recipes, the addition of water is not normally required; however, the addition of water to gluten free flour provides a much better consistency for this recipe. We hope this helps. Best wishes, Doves Farm.
In all my life I have never come across a baking tray 15 x 20 cm, and the photo of the shortbread in this recipe does not show such a baking tray. Consequently I would hesitate to recommend this recipe to anyone who did not have both a range of sizes of baking tray to choose from, and a good deal of cooking experience.
Many thanks for your feedback. We can confirm that the baking tray in the picture was purchased in a high-street shop. You can also find similarly sized foil trays in many stores or use any small baking tray. Alternatively. if you have a larger baking tray you could double the recipe. Best wishes, Doves Farm.
