Short bread

This is kind of an old post since I actually made the short bread on Monday, but things have been the usual crazy for me so I only have a chance to post it now. Not only that, I don't have pictures :( so this post is going be a little small.

I made Short Bread.

So this past weekend was thanks giving here and since I usually do most of my cooking creativity on the weekends I decided to make short bread at the cottage for my family. At least that was the plan. Last Xmas my mom gave Talia a really nice short bread pan and directions (very pretty with snowflakes on it) so I was goning use that at the cottage. But I wasn't feeling the best at the cottage and Talia and I spend most of the day wandering the forest looking for a good place to put a tree house (yes, we are building a tree house at the cottage :)). So long story short, I didn't make short bread.

So on Monday when we were home again I decided to make it just for talia and myself. Unfortunately in all the rush to get home Sunday I forgot the pan and the directions. But not to worry, Jamie Oliver to the rescue, lol. The cookbook that I am currently working through has a recipe for shortbread. The recipe is about twice as much as what i remember from the pan directions, and the baked result doesn't have any cool snowflakes on it but it came out very nice.

We are slowly working our way through the pan. it will probably be finished by Sunday. Very tasty, but very dry. I think that's just shortbread in general because all the shortbreads i have ever tasted are like that.
