This recipe for English Shortbread brings together 1 cup butter, plus (no substitutes), 2 tablespoons butter, 1/2 cup sugar in a practical dish for home cooking. It takes about 30 min to prepare and cook. It makes approximately 12 servings.
I couldn’t find a recipe for British shortbread surprisingly enough. Posted for ZWT6. I am totally guessing on the servings!
This is a very simple but fancy looking shortbread sandwich which is very versatile. You can make a bittersweet chocolate filling, or a white chocolate filling…heaps of options. Found this recipe in Donna Hay’s “dining” cookbook.
I actually first saw their Austrian Shortbread recipe years ago in Gourmet Magazine. I was intrigued with the interesting yet simple technique involved in achieving an extremely light textured shortbread (see recipe). I originally made it just as the recipe specifies layering raspberry jam between the two layers, but recently decided to try a less sweet and simpler version, using fresh fruit mixed with a bit of sugar, flour and lemon. Both versions are delicious but with fresh fruit so abundant and beautiful at the moment, I opted for this blueberry/raspberry rendition today…and no one seemed to complain!!
An Australian Tim Tam Cake worthy of the Kardashians, complete with buttercream, caramel and ganache.
