"Recipes are meant to be shared"

It is my intention to add a couple of recipes here every week. Although between working and playing with my daily blog 'Thibeault's Table', I'm not always successful.

Shortbreads


Shortbreads
===========
Patty's Recipe
1975

300 degrees for 45 - 50 minutes

1/2 c butter
pinch salt
pinch baking soda
1/4 c fruit sugar,(Same as Berry sugar or very fine granulated sugar)
1 c flour
sugar to dredge

Mix together Flour, salt and baking soda.

Cream butter and fruit sugar. Add flour mixture and mix well. Pat firmly into round cake pan. Use tines of fork to make a decorate edge around the outside of the dough. Now use fork to poke holes all over surface. (This stops the shortbread from rising up during baking.. Bake in low oven until just starting to colour. Should not brown.

Remove from oven and sprinkle with fine sugar. Let sit 5 minutes and then Cut into wedges while still warm. Do not remove shortbread wedges from pan until cool.

This recipe can be doubled and baked in a rectangle pan, and cut into fingers rather than wedges.
