Method

In a bowl, beat together butter, sugar and zests till creamy, then mix in flour and ground rice to make a paste.

 

Roll out mix to 1cm-thick 45cm x 5cm rectangle and cut into fingers, pressing a few holes in tops with a skewer. Place on baking sheet in fridge, and chill for 2 hrs, or till firm.

 

Preheat oven to gas mark 3/170°C (160°C in a fan oven). Remove shortbread mix from fridge and sprinkle with extra sugar. Bake for 15 mins, till a very pale gold colour. Release from baking sheet with a palette knife while still hot and cool for 5 mins, then transfer to rack to cool completely.
