Indulge in the deliciously sweet and nutty flavors of these Honey, Cinnamon, and Pine Nut Shortbread Fingers. With just a few simple ingredients, this recipe will guide you through making a delightful treat that's perfect for tea time or as a sweet snack.
Ingredients:
Instructions:
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Line a baking tray with parchment paper.
In a large mixing bowl, beat the softened butter and honey together until the mixture is light and fluffy. You can use an electric mixer or mix by hand with a wooden spoon.
Gradually add the white rice flour and cinnamon to the butter-honey mixture, mixing well until fully combined.
Stir the pine nuts into the dough until evenly distributed.
Transfer the dough to a lightly floured surface. Shape it into a rectangular block about ½ inch thick. Use a knife or a dough cutter to cut the block into finger-shaped strips, each about 2 inches long and ½ inch wide.
Place the shortbread fingers on the prepared baking tray, leaving a small space between each piece to allow for slight spreading.
Bake in the preheated oven for 15-20 minutes, or until the edges are lightly golden. Keep an eye on them to ensure they don't overcook.
Remove the baking tray from the oven and let the shortbread fingers cool on the tray for 5 minutes. Transfer them to a wire rack to cool completely.
Tips:
- Ensure that the butter is softened to room temperature for easy mixing.
- Use high-quality honey for a more pronounced flavor.
- Toast the pine nuts lightly to enhance their nutty flavor before incorporating them into the dough.
- If the dough is too soft to handle, refrigerate it for about 30 minutes before shaping.
- Use a sharp knife to cut the shortbread into fingers for cleaner edges.
These Honey, Cinnamon, and Pine Nut Shortbread Fingers are a delightful twist on traditional shortbread, offering a blend of sweet and spice with a satisfying crunch from the pine nuts. Follow these steps and tips to create a homemade treat that will impress and delight family and friends.
