Make this recipe a recipe that people in that category can eat. categories: ['low_sodium'], recipe: first of all beat the butter in a bowl with a wooden spoon to soften it then beat in the sugar followed by the flours. work the ingredients together with the spoon then finish off with your hands till you have a dough that doesn't leave any bits in the bowl. next transfer the dough to a flat surface a roll it out lightly to a round then transfer the round to a 8 inch flan tin. lightly press the mixture evenly into the tin . now you must prick the shortbread all over with a fork or it will rise in the centre. bake for about 1 hour (gas 2 / 300f /150c).

Target recipe: the ingredients need to be cold before you start. place the flour in a bowl with a little salt, to taste. then throw in the butter and use your fingertips to rub it into the flour until you get a crumbly, sand-like texture. mix in the egg yolk and egg, just until they are both incorporated. at this point the dough will be wet and difficult to roll out. lay some clingfilm on your counter and place the dough on top. cover with more clingfilm. roll lightly to flatten, then leave to rest in the fridge for at least one hour. shape as desired, then cook at 150 c or 300 f until golden. for a round shortbread using all the dough, this will probably take about 30 minutes.
