A week ago, I was all set to bake shortbread, but the hand mixer went kaput!
I'm going in again, oodles of butter is at the ready.
It is time to test drive the new mixer.
Besides, after watching "White Christmas" at the local library today, I wanted to do another holiday-type activity.
If it had to be an edible project, so be it!
Years ago, a friend (of Ukrainian heritage) gave me a recipe for Scottish shortbread. A Scottish woman she knew had given her the recipe 25 years previously. Tried and true, you might say.

The problem with getting the baking bug at night is that one is in danger of creating a rather wonky grid system in the dough!
Nonetheless, I'll still nibble, and share, shortbread.
Note: After this post, I was asked for the recipe. You can find it here.

Your shortbread looks delicious. I need a new mixer also, made some banana bread last weekend and it made an awful, awful noise.
ReplyDeleteI'll have to try this; I've been looking for the ultimate shortbread -- golden and crisp on the outside and layered in the middle, right?
ReplyDeleteOhhhh my favourite type of biscuit has to be shortbread. Your shortbread looks very tasty.
ReplyDeleteA have to have at Christmas.
ReplyDeleteI get the baking bug. But I'm getting lazy and use a mix much of the time. Mores the pity. I love that bowl you're using for your batch.

The wonky grid is the best part!
ReplyDeleteHi Karen! Who cares about wonky...I bet the cookies are delicious! I LOVE White Christmas and probably watched it about 10 times this week!
ReplyDeleteThat looks so good. I have never been very good at making shortbread - am missing my DIL who has a very light touch with it.
ReplyDeleteThis is completely mouth watering really. I am so excited to try this, I hope I make YOU proud! Look for it after the new year for sure. Say, just want to take an extra minute to thank you for your comments and visits for tea and other posts. Wishing you blessings and much cheer in 2012!!!!!!
