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.

Spicy Vietnamese Quick-Pickled Vegetables
These Vietnamese-style pickled vegetables are traditionally served as a condiment for banh mi sandwiches, but they make a nice side for anything you'd normally pair with coleslaw, like fish and chips, barbecued meats, fish tacos, etc. Store in the refrigerator for up to one month.
(Gluten Free) Magic Cookie Bars
I did a combination of two recipes, peanut butter cookies with three ingredients and magic cookie bars. My brother-in-law loves magic cookie bars but is now gluten-free. I have been trying to come up with desserts for him so he doesn't feel left out. This is an amazing dessert and will stay fresh for days...if they last that long in your house! Perfect for Passover - no flour!
Got No Beef Stew
Got no beef? That's ok, because I am going to show you how to make something that looks like beef stew, eats like beef stew, and kinda sorta tastes like beef stew without having to use any beef. And whether you're making this because beef is just too expensive, or you are trying to cut down on the amount of beef you eat, or you just enjoy bad grammar — no matter the reason, I really do think you're going to enjoy this! Serve with buttered bread.
