My mother al- ways told me that it took s00000 long to make, and the ingredients were s00000 complicated that once a year was plenty of- ten to make them. Rather like a certain television commercial Tor Rice Krispie Squares...I have certainly Teamed differently! Shortbread was first prepared in Scotland where it was a tra- ditional part of the Christmas and Hogmanay (New Year's Eve) dinner. The classic large round shortbread was usually notched around the edges to signify the sun's rays. Flour, butter and sugar arc the three basic ingredients, which mix together to give the "short" texture that gives it its name. In Edinburgh a shortbread is often decorated with peel and al- monds. Ayrshire cooks may add cream and eggs. In the Shet- landand Orkney Islands, shortbread may contain caraway seeds and is known as -Bride's Bonn. All purpose flour is the traditional one to use,°however, some recipes call for cornstarch as well. This gives a finer texture and the dough is less crumbly to work with. Butter gives the rich flavour, but margarine can be used. It doesn't matter which you use, but only allow it to soften just enough to mix it in and work with cold hands in a cool, not hot, kitchen. (Now I realize why my husband keeps the heat turned back. He is hinting that he wants me to make more shortbread!) If the butter is too soft, it separate and the dough is too loose to work with. If your shortbread is brittle, this may be your problem. Icing sugar is usually called for in shortbread recipes, be- cause it is finer than granulated, and gives shortbread that "melt in your mouth" quality. You can pat the shortbread dough into a pan and cut it into bars, roll it out and cut with cookies cutters, or press it out with a shortbread mold. My husband has wanted me to make what he calls "Maids of Honour" for several years now, so in his "honour" I offer the following. Shortbread Thumbprints Sift together: 12 cup com starch 1/2 cup icing sugar 1 cup all purpose flour Thoroughly blend in and work with the hands until a soft smooth dough forms: 3/4 cup softened butter Shape into balls and roll in: 1 cup chopped pecans Place on baking sheet. Press thumb in centre to make inden- tation. Bake 15-20 minutes at 300. Remove from the oven, al- low to cool. Fill centre with raspberry jam or red currant jelly.
