I don't use Englsh butter for baking as the cream isn't always soured. That said, when I've had some double (heavy) cream hanging around I've made my own butter (just shake it in a jar!) and used this with a mix with President in cakes with excellent results.

I use it in baking quite a lot and it lends a lovely short texture to something like this. It can be used in all sorts of baking. In some recipes with a vanilla flavour you can substitute it with custard powder (Bird's or the like) Hope this helps.

Many traditional chunky shortbread recipes call for the use of cornstarch, as Jamie Oliver's does. Sharon – This is not a typo.

I think the recipe calls for Corn Flour as the alternative. Be careful when you use recipes that other people copy. Try and always find the original to compare it to.......it could be disastrous!!!

Basically, the higher fat to moisture ratio, the better. Some brands that I like are President and Plugra. I noticed that Trader Joes carries both, as do most specialty stores. Mary - Thanks for the recommendation! Smitten Kitchen is a trusted source, to say the least. The words "brown butter" are enough to get me salivating. Ashleigh – “European style” butter is ideal.

For another take that is no more trouble, really, try Smitten Kitchen's Twice-Baked Brown Butter Shortbread. It even thrilled a Scottish friend of mine!
