This shortbread recipe is a compilation of several 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.
Ingredients
- 0.25 cups white sugar
- 0.5 cups unsalted butter
- 1 cup all-purpose flour
- 0.33 cups white rice flour
Instructions
-
1
Preheat oven to 325 degrees F (165 degrees C).
-
2
Line a baking sheet with greaseproof (parchment) paper. Sift the flour and rice flour into a medium mixing bowl. Add the sugar and mix.
-
3
Cut butter into pieces and rub into the flour with your fingertips until the mixture begins to bind together. Knead into soft dough.
-
4
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)
-
5
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.

Garlic Noodles
These garlic noodles are deceivingly simple, yet devastatingly delicious. Garlic noodles were invented back in the '70s at a restaurant in San Francisco called Thanh Long. Usually served with roasted Dungeness crab, the recipe is a very closely guarded family secret, but after lots of investigation, and even more experimentation, I think this is very close.
Canadian Bacon Breakfast Stack
This is a lightened version of one my favorite breakfasts. Hot pepper sauce is necessity! Sprinkle it over the top before you dig in! Canadian bacon comes from the loin area of the hog so it is very lean and quite tender.
