I am very sorry it didn't work for you. I know how annoying it is to spend money on ingredients for it not to work out.However, this recipe is from a respectable Scottish cook book and i always use this recipe for "all butter shortbread". I too have looked at other shortbread recipes and the ratio of butter to flour seems to be correct.

we tried this one thisafternoon and weighed with presision. The mixture was mainly butter and too stodgy to roll out and cut, shame ingredients cost a lot. I wouldnt recommend this one to anybody as our ended up in the bin. we checked with other shortbread recipies and there seems to be much to much butter in ratio to flour and sugar in this one. sorry
