Homemade delicious sugar shortbread with distinct layers, sweet and crisp.
I have been in the baking pit for seven or eight years, and most of them make Western-style dim sum, because children prefer Western-style dim sum, but the elderly at home have a soft spot for Chinese-style dim sum. So I often make some Chinese dim sum to my parents-in-law. My mother-in-law likes to eat shortbread cookies. Whether it is a sweet shortbread with sugar filling or a salty shortbread with plum and vegetable meat, my mother-in-law can eat three or four at a time.
Sugar shortbread is a traditional Chinese folk snack, which is widely spread. Every place has its own unique sugar shortbread. Sugar shortbread should originate from shortbread cookies. Later, pastry chefs added fillings to shortbread cookies to gradually form sugar shortbread. I like to make shortbread cookies in a large-packed way, the process is not as troublesome as small-packed shorts. A lot of oil must be used to make shortbread. The choice of oil mainly depends on personal perceptions. The shortening effect of lard is the best, followed by salad oil, but salad oil will be healthier.

380g Flour
100g Oil

Tips:
1. The oil can be lard or odorless salad oil. The shortening effect of lard is better.
2. Use hot water when mixing with oily dough, the cake made is tough and non-dry, and it is easy to operate.
3. When rolling into a large piece, roll it slowly along, as far as possible not to break the crisp, you can use high powder to prevent sticking.
4. When rolling out the cake, try not to break it, so that it can be bulged in the high-temperature oven.
5. The temperature of the oven should be adjusted according to the performance of your own oven.
