SHORTBREAD
This is a compilation of several Shortbread recipes I have from British cookbooks. I have been to England three times and REAL shortbread is a favorite. It should use real butter and not be TOO sweet.

Steps:
- Preheat oven to 325 degrees F (165 degrees C).
- Line a baking sheet with greaseproof (parchment) paper. Sift the flour and rice flour into a medium mixing bowl. Add the sugar and mix.
- Cut butter into pieces and rub into the flour with your fingertips until the mixture begins to bind together. Knead into soft dough.
- Roll the dough into an 8 inch round (or for exact round, mold it in an 8 inch cake pan). Place on baking sheet. Using a fork, prick top and make tine marks along edge. Using a table knife, score top with wedge marks. (This is where it will break when cooled)
- Bake 45 minutes or until pale golden in color. Sprinkle a little superfine sugar over top and cool on baking sheet. Cut into wedges. Keeps for weeks in airtight tin.

- On a lightly floured surface, use a rolling pin to roll out the dough to ½ cm thick. Cut the dough into fingers and place on a lined baking tray. Use a fork to create imprints, then sprinkle with the remaining caster sugar.
- Chill the dough in the fridge for 20 mins, then bake for 15-20 mins until golden brown. Remove the shortbread fingers from the oven and leave to cool on the tray for 10 mins.

Steps:
- Preheat oven to 325 degrees. Butter an 8 1/2-inch round cake or springform pan. Sift together flour and salt in a small bowl. In a large bowl, with an electric mixer on medium, cream butter until fluffy, 3 to 5 minutes. Add sugar, and continue to beat until very light in color and fluffy, scraping down sides of bowl as necessary, about 2 minutes more. Add flour mixture, and beat on low, scraping bowl if necessary, until flour is just incorporated and dough sticks together when squeezed.
- Pat dough into prepared pan. Use a paring knife to score dough into wedges; prick all over in even intervals with a wooden skewer or fork.
- Bake until firm in the center and just starting to color, about 50 minutes. Transfer pan to a wire rack, and let cool completely. Cut into wedges. Cookies will keep, in an airtight container, at room temperature 3 weeks.
SUPER-EASY SHORTBREAD (3 INGREDIENTS)
The original recipe (called Shortbread Stars) came from my McCall's recipe box collection, which I subscribed to in the 80's. It was the first shortbread recipe I ever made, and I've never found a better one. The ingredients are so basic and easy that you'll soon have them memorized. Other recipes don't seem to produce the same perfect texture and flavor. My modification to the original was to try using a 9 x 13 pan rather than chilling, rolling out, and cutting into shapes. (Who has time for that, except on special occasions?) However, using a 9 x 13 pan changes the baking time, and the time given is approximate and based on my experience with a convection oven. I tend to overbake them a bit because I like shortbread very crisp. These are perfect with a cup of tea, of course, and ideal for tea parties or even a quick dessert for company. You nearly always have the ingredients on hand. Now you'll never need to buy (delicious but expensive) Walker's shortbread again!

Steps:
- Preheat oven to 300°.
- Cream butter and sugar together.
- Add flour and mix till texture is like clay.
- Press dough into ungreased 9 x 13 inch pan, prick all over with a fork, and sprinkle with sugar (tilt pan to cover the top evenly, then shake excess sugar back into the sugar canister).
- Bake for about 40-45 minutes (till very lightly browned--just golden around the edges).
- Let stand for 5 minutes, then cut into 24 squares while warm.
- Leave in pan to cool thoroughly. (Shortbread will not be crisp until cool.).
- Less easy method: Chill dough. Roll into 1-inch balls, then press balls to about 1/4-inch thickness on ungreased cookie sheets with the bottom of a glass dipped in sugar (sometimes you can find a glass with a pretty design on the bottom, like a star). Bake at 300° for about 20-25 minutes (until edges are very lightly browned).
- Least easy method: Chill dough. Roll out to about 1/4-inch thickness, sprinkle with sugar, then cut with cookie cutters. Bake on ungreased cookie sheets at 300° for about 20-25 minutes (until edges are very lightly browned).
- Variation: Add 2 tablespoons dried lavender to the creamed butter and sugar before adding flour. It may sound strange, but the flavor is subtle and elegant. Food-grade lavender is usually available in herb bins at health food stores, and I recently found it at a great price from Atlantic Spice online (their Lavender #1).
- Variation: After cutting shortbread into squares (it will still be warm), scatter 1 cup of chocolate chips over the top, let the chocolate soften completely, then spread as a thin layer and let cool completely before removing from pan. (No need to sprinkle shortbread with sugar before baking if you plan to do this.).
- Variation: Stir 1 cup chocolate chips or butterscotch chips into the dough before pressing into pan. You can also try melting the butterscotch over the top, as above. In England, you'll find "caramel shortbread," which has a layer of caramel and a layer of chocolate on top of the shortbread. It's wonderful (of course!). I've tried various ways of doing this and various kinds of caramel, but it's been a while and I don't remember what works best. It can be tricky not to make a mess!

Steps:
- Preheat oven to 275 degrees. Butter five 5 3/4-by-3 1/4-inch loaf pans; set aside. Sift flour and salt into a bowl.
- Place butter in bowl of an electric mixer fitted with the paddle attachment. Beat on medium speed until light and fluffy, 3 to 5 minutes. Add sugar, and continue to beat until very light in color and fluffy, about 2 minutes more, occasionally scraping down the sides of the bowl with a spatula. Add vanilla. Add reserved flour mixture, and combine on low speed, scraping sides with spatula if necessary, until flour is just incorporated and dough sticks together when squeezed with fingers. Do not overmix.
- Divide dough evenly into prepared pans, spreading it about 1 1/4 inches thick. Smooth tops with fingers. Decorate by using a skewer to prick holes in the top to create a pattern or word. Bake until firm and just starting to color, about 2 hours. It may be necessary to re-prick the design in the loaf as soon as it comes out of the oven, to help keep holes uniform. Remove bricks from pans, transfer to a cooling rack, and let cool to room temperature. Slice to serve.
CLASSIC SHORTBREAD

Cool, then slice along the scored lines.

12 BEST SHORTBREAD RECIPES - THE SPRUCE EATS
From thespruceeats.com
- Classic Shortbread. You know what they say: If it ain't broke, don't fix it. These three-ingredient shortbread squares get their satisfying texture from pricking them all over with a fork before baking.
- Chocolate Shortbread Cookies. For those who just don't consider a dessert worth it unless it contains chocolate, this shortbread will hit the spot. The dough also freezes well, so make half now and save the other for a quick treat later.
- Peanut Butter Shortbread Cookies. Combine two classic cookie flavors with this peanut butter shortbread recipe. This one also contains no eggs, making it great for those with food allergies.
- Butter Pecan Shortbread Cookies. Fans of butter pecan ice cream or Keebler sandies will love these shortbread cookies that have a similar taste. Sprinkling with coarse or vanilla sugar would add a little extra crunch, but they taste great without too.
- Three-Ingredient Shortbread. You read that right: all you need for a buttery basic shortbread is three ingredients and an oven. A food processor would make mixing the butter into the sugar and flour easier, but a pastry blender works too.
- Keto Shortbread Cookies. Using keto-friendly almond flour and a sugar substitute like Stevia means you can still enjoy a sweet treat while following the popular diet.
- Cardamom Pistachio Shortbread Cookies. Give basic shortbread cookies extra excitement by adding warming cardamom and nutty pistachios in a recipe that's reminiscent of the Middle Eastern version, called Ghoraibi.
- Mexican Tea Cakes. With the taste and texture of a shortbread cookie but shaped like a drop cookie, you may also know these holiday favorites as butternut cookies, sand cookies, or Mexican wedding cakes.
- Maple Shortbread Cookies. With the signature sweetness of maple syrup, these butter cookies taste just right for a crisp winter's day. If you don't have a leaf-shaped cutter, you can also roll and slice them but allow for plenty of time for chilling so the cookies keep their shape.
- Scottish Shortbread. Adding cornstarch to this basic shortbread recipe makes the cookies crispy on the edges while staying soft and crumbly in the center.
