Ingredients

150g soft unsalted butter

200g plain flour

50g golden caster sugar

50g stem ginger balls in syrup

50g of your favourite chocolate

Method

In a bowl, use your thumbs and fingertips to rub together the soft butter, flour, sugar and a pinch of sea salt, then finely chop and add the ginger.
Squash and pat into a dough, shape into a large log, wrap in greaseproof paper and twist the ends to seal. Firm up in the fridge for at least 20 minutes.
Once firm, slice the log into 12 even-sized rounds. At this point, you can bake however many biscuits you like, working in batches, if necessary, and simply freeze the rest to cook another day – wrap the biscuits in greaseproof to prevent them sticking together.
To cook, line the air-fryer drawer with a sheet of greaseproof, evenly space however many biscuits you want on top, then bake for 14 minutes at 170°C (17 minutes from frozen), or until golden. Remove to a wire rack, sprinkle with a little extra sugar, if you like, then leave to cool completely.
Snap the chocolate into a heatproof bowl and melt in the air fryer for 2 minutes at 170°C, stir until smooth, then drizzle over the cooled shortbread.

This recipe is for a 1-drawer air fryer.

All recipes from Easy Air Fryer were tested at least twice in a Tefal single (4.2 litres) or dual (8.3 litres) air fryer, as well as in a range of air fryers by my team of office testers at home. All air fryers are different, so results may vary – please follow the recipe instructions for guidance, and use your instincts to adjust times accordingly if your machine runs a little hotter or colder than average.
