Servings: persons

Shortbread:
300 grams rice flour
100 grams sorghum flour
250 grams butter - room temperature
1 piece egg
1 piece egg yolk
1 1/2 tablespoons xanthan gum
100 grams walnuts
Syrup:
400 grams caster sugar
400 milliliters water
1/4 teaspoon nutmeg
1/2 piece lemon

1
The only unusual equipment for this dessert is a grater, which is going to be used only to decorate the shortbread before baking.
2
Heat the oven to 200C and line a baking tray with baking paper.
3
Fold the flours into the wet ingredients using a spatula and finish it with your hands. The dough should be easy to handle.
4
Arrange the shortbread onto a baking tray leaving the marked size up and bake for 25 minutes or until you get a golden colour.
5
While the shortbread is in the oven baking you will have time to make the syrup. Pour water into a sauce pan, add the sugar, lemon rind and nutmeg. Cook on a low heat until the sugar dissolves and the syrup becomes a bit thicker. This will take approximately 10 minutes. (Cool the syrup for a few minutes before using. I find it quite stressful for the hot dough to be poured with the hot syrup).
6
Once the shortbreads are baked, take them from the oven and pour half of the syrup over them. The other half cook for another 10 minutes or so, until it becomes thicker. Pour the rest of the syrup over the shortbread and enjoy them after an hour or so. They do improve over time - keep that in mind as well.

Tips for the best results

Read through all the steps once before you start and measure out your ingredients first — it makes everything go more smoothly.
Preheat the oven fully and bake on the middle rack for the most even results.
Check for doneness a few minutes early — a toothpick in the center should come out with just a few moist crumbs.
Let it cool before slicing so it sets properly and holds its shape.
Store leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge and enjoy within a few days.

Variations & substitutions

Use a neutral oil or a plant-based spread in place of butter for a dairy-free version.
Brown sugar instead of white sugar adds a deeper, more caramel-like flavor.
Leave out the nuts to make it nut-free, or swap in seeds for a similar crunch.
A good 1:1 gluten-free flour blend works well if you need a gluten-free version.
