This classic shortbread recipe is based on one from Edmond's Cookbook and is great to get the kids started on. Most shortbread recipes use caster sugar but I find that beginner cooks have greater success using icing sugar which is quick to cream.
Ingredients
225 g Butter, cut into cubes
225 g Flour
125 g Cornflour
125 g Icing sugar

After experiencing the run-around from traditional lenders, she came across Prospa on social media. They provided her with the funds she needed to open a new salon premises and do a complete fit out and refresh, all with an easy-to-manage weekly repayment plan that suited business cash flow.
Next step for Francis is to work with a business coach to grow the business further – and Prospa will be right alongside her.
We hope at this time of year you are getting close to having a break and a well deserved holiday.
Tis the season... let's help make other's holidays more merry and bright.
