The Shortbread: Verdict



DSC_3010_shortbread, originally uploaded by Lilandra.

I made the shortbread from the same cookbook as the cheddar biscuits.

And as I mentioned before, I had a flour problem.

At some point, the recipe said knead the dough lightly and so I added more flour to make it kneadable – it was liquid. But I didn’t want to add too much flour because I wanted it to be buttery and not floury. I mean it’s shortbread.

So, I think I need to review another recipe.

However…it came out great. I mean it tasted lovely…it could have been more buttery but it was quite good…very crumbly…and addictive (the problem with shortbread). It’s finishing quickly (and I had two 8″ rounds).

I loved it and will make it again.

  1. These tasted scrumptious and it was a welcome to come home and get this tasty shortbread which brought back memories of plaid tins etc.
    Thanks lilandra
