Shortbread




SHORTBREAD

This shortbread recipe is from Scotland, where it is a traditional Hogmanay or New Year’s Eve treat. It's great for a party or for a gift. Most people find it irresistible.


Preheat oven to 350º.

1 cup unsalted butter
1/2 cup powdered sugar
2 cups flour
1/2 teaspoon salt

Mix ingredients together and form a ball. Then flatten the ball into a 1/2 inch thick round shape. Use a fork to make marks for dividing the pieces after it is baked. Any shape pieces are OK.

Bake for 40 minutes. Cut into pieces before the shortbread is completely cool or it will be too crumble to cut easily.
