STEP BY STEP

Let’s make it.

Heat the oven to 325°F (165°C). Line a 20 cm square tin, leaving paper handles. Beat the butter and sugar until combined.
Mix in the vanilla, almond meal and salt. Fold in three-quarters of the walnuts; the mixture will be crumbly but should hold when pressed.
Press firmly and evenly into the tin. Scatter the remaining walnuts over the top and press them into the surface.
Bake for 23–28 minutes until golden at the edges. While still warm, score lightly into 12 bars without lifting them out.
Cool completely in the tin, lift out with the paper and cut along the marks. Divide into 12 servings.

Kitchen notes

Pressing firmly and cooling fully are essential for this egg-free, crumbly shortbread.
The total time includes approximately 45–55 minutes for cooling before slicing. A larger or deeper bake may need longer.
