Hi there I just saw a recipe for shortbread on tv this morning and though I might try it. They said you can freeze the raw shortbread and cook it when needed, but do the cooked shortbreads freeze ok! Thanks very much

It's fine. You can cut into size/shapes before freezing.

may I ask why the 336 and 112 grm amounts they seem very exact. is there a reason for that. when I last cooked it wasnever measured, but in the about this or that. so just wondering why. I am feeling hungry now

Arabelle - weird amounts translate exactly to old imperial measures - 4 oz, 12 oz etc.At one energetic stage I converted all my old recipes to metric measures and temperatures.
