Mama's little Daisy loves shortbread....

Yeah, so we discovered that Daisy loves shortbread so much, she's willing to get her feet up on the counter and nose around to get it off the back of the stove. I'm willing to overlook it, because the shortbread IS quite tasty. Thanks to Miss M who gave me a ceramic shortbread cookie pan for Christmas - the British Isles version, with imprints of a Celtic knot, Welsh dragon, Scottish thistle, and English rose-type thingee (see right).


Preheat oven to 350 degrees. For said shortbread, one mixes 1 stick of butter, 3/4 powdered sugar, 1 1/2 c flour (I think, will double check), and a splash of vanilla. Press into a lightly greased shortbread pan and bake about 35 minutes until lightly browned. Let cool in the pan 10 minutes, then slide a knife around the edges and flip out (gently) onto a cutting board. Cut into wedges and devour.
