Recipe Tips
If you want, you can refine the finished shortbread with liquid chocolate. Simply melt the bittersweet couverture in a hot water bath, dip the biscuits in from one side and place on baking paper to dry. Alternatively, you can use a spoon to spoon the melted chocolate over the shortbread.
Store shortbread correctly
