Ingredients
Scale
Dry Ingredients:
- 2 cups (284 grams) all-purpose flour
- ⅔ cup (132 grams) granulated sugar, plus more for sprinkling
- ¾ teaspoon (5 grams) kosher salt or sea salt
Fat Ingredients:
- 1 cup (227 grams) unsalted butter, softened to 65 to 67 degrees Fahrenheit (18 to 19 degrees Celsius)
Flavor Enhancers:
- 1 teaspoon (5 milliliters) vanilla extract
Special Equipment:
- Stand Mixer
- Cooling Rack
- Pink Pastry Box
- 8-Inch Square Cake Pan
Instructions
- Prepare the baking environment by warming the oven to 325°F (165°C) and carefully line an 8×8-inch baking pan with parchment paper, ensuring a 1-inch overhang for easy removal.
- In a mixing bowl, combine softened butter, granulated sugar, pure vanilla extract, and a pinch of salt. Utilize an electric mixer on low speed to incorporate ingredients, then gradually increase to medium speed until the mixture transforms into a smooth, creamy consistency.
- Gently introduce all-purpose flour into the butter mixture, mixing on low speed until the dough develops a crumbly texture. Exercise caution to prevent overmixing, which could compromise the delicate structure.
- Transfer the fragile dough into the prepared pan, using a spatula to distribute it evenly across the surface. Apply gentle pressure to create a uniform layer, then cover with plastic wrap to smooth the top.
- Using a fork, meticulously create uniform perforations across the dough’s surface to ensure even baking and classic shortbread appearance.
- Refrigerate the prepared dough for precisely 30 minutes, allowing the butter to solidify and enhance the biscuits’ signature texture.
- Place the chilled pan into the preheated oven and bake for 30-35 minutes, monitoring until the edges transform into a beautiful golden-brown color.
- Immediately after removing from the oven, allow the biscuits to rest for 5 minutes, then carefully slice into rectangular portions while still warm.
- permit the biscuits to cool completely within the pan, then extract them using the parchment paper overhang, revealing perfectly crafted shortbread treats.
